  This collection gathers five remarkable stories from the era when science fiction magazines were overflowing with daring ideas and unforgettable characters. Explorers push deeper into space, brilliant navigators chart impossible routes and ordinary people find themselves trapped in situations far beyond anything they expected. 
  The writers behind these tales helped shape the early imagination of the genre. Their stories explore distant worlds, dangerous assignments and strange discoveries that test the limits of human courage and ingenuity. The settings may span the stars, but the tension always comes down to one moment—one decision that could change everything. 
  Some of the authors in this volume became widely known voices in science fiction, while others appeared only occasionally in the pulps before fading from view. Together their work preserves the excitement of a time when every new issue of a magazine promised another wild journey into the unknown. 
  For readers who love vintage science fiction filled with bold ideas and classic storytelling, this collection delivers five more lost transmissions from the golden age of the genre. 🚀

  AN INTERNET JOKE  
  AN EVIL GENIUS  
  A HERO IS BORN 
  Gifted with a brain that works like a video recorder, twelve-year-old aspiring detective Elmo Fitzroy—famous on YouTube, thanks to his mother, as “Muppit Boy” because of really humiliating videos—becomes embroiled in a world-domination plot hatched by an evil scientist out to control humanity with deadly allergies. 
  Mo’s life plan is simple: ditch his dweeby childhood alter ego and fly under the radar to survive middle school. It backfires big time when he helps his Big Brother mentor—a police detective—investigate an old woman in a clown mask who robs people of their hearing aids. 
  Little does he realize that chasing clues with friends Barney Kettlewick and Kashvi Jindal will lead to a battle with ugly shoes, pursuit by chainsaw-wielding maniacs, an embarrassingly public rescue by a California condor, a meeting with Homeland Security, and his ADHD soaring into overdrive. 
  The kid who’s always been a joke must somehow become a hero to save his family, friends, and, well, the whole world.

  Make a Pretty Sound - A Story of...

  Once upon a time, children's music was just Mother Goose, nursery songs, and lullabies. And then came Ella Jenkins. 
    
  Ella Jenkins is an American folk singer and living legend dubbed The First Lady of Children's Music. For nearly 70 years, she has been writing and performing music that has entertained and engaged generations of young listeners. In Make a Pretty Song, Ella's life and legacy are captured in vibrant sights, sounds, and stories that leap right off the page. 
    
  Born in St. Louis, Missouri, and raised in Chicago, Ella grew up loving music of all kinds—the call-and-response of Cab Calloway, the exciting rhythms of Moroccan and Indian records spun in a local record shop, the bluesy notes her uncle teased from his harmonica. She listened to music from around the world, and no matter what language it was in, she could feel what it meant—the bridge in understanding and feeling that music offers from one heart to another. 
    
  When she began working with children, she knew just what to do. She knew music would offer children a kinetic learning experience that engaged them physically, verbally, and empathetically, creating community out of song. Soon, she was recording her own albums and became an international star. 
    
  Ella's journey—from the gritty streets of Chicago to the classrooms where she found her calling to an opportunity to raise her voice for freedom alongside Martin Luther King, Jr., to the spotlight of the world's stage—is rhythmically, joyfully, brilliantly illuminated. For readers familiar with Ella Jenkins or new to her work, this nonfiction book offers a treasury of inspiration that touches on American history, civil rights, cultural awareness, and the incredible power of music.

  Before the Fact - When...

  Life has become effortless. Hunger, war, and instability are distant memories, replaced by safety, longevity, and routine satisfaction. Yet for some, that perfection feels strangely hollow. When Renwick voices his restlessness, a friend responds not with philosophy or reassurance, but with a quiet, unsettling observation drawn from an unexpected place: children’s games. 
  What begins as a casual conversation turns into something far more disturbing. Patterns emerge. The toys children choose, the rhymes they chant, and the games they invent have, in the past, mirrored major changes long before those changes arrived. Now, the newest games point toward something older, harsher, and deeply out of step with a secure world that believes it has outgrown fear. Renwick is left staring at evidence that cannot be easily explained away—and at a future that may not resemble the orderly present he thought was permanent. 
  Before the Fact is a quiet, chilling story that builds tension through conversation rather than catastrophe. Its power comes from implication, from the realization that warning signs may not arrive as alarms or disasters, but as something as simple as a child at play. The unease grows not from what is shown, but from what must be acknowledged once it is seen. 
  Zenna Henderson was known for science fiction that centered on people rather than machinery, often exploring how ordinary lives respond to extraordinary pressures. Her work appeared frequently in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and she is best remembered for her interconnected “People” stories, later collected in volumes such as Pilgrimage and The People: No Different Flesh. In Before the Fact, Henderson applies her human-focused approach to a future that seems gentle on the surface—and quietly terrifying underneath.
