  A funny, playful salute to the value of books and libraries from the New York Times best-selling and beloved author Carmen Agra Deedy. 
  Sunrise Elementary School had a BIG problem. Their new librarian was a real Dragon!  
  When Miss Lotta Scales read an ad for a thick-skinned librarian with a burning love of books, she knew she was perfect for the job. After all, who could guard books better than a real dragon?  
  She took her job seriously: hundreds of new, clean books replaced the old, smudged ones. The thought of sticky little fingers touching and clutching her precious books made her hot under the collar! The principal tried to reason with her, and she singed his tie. The teachers sent a delegation, including sweet Miss Lemon, who told her “the library belongs to the children,” but they were all sent away scorched.  
  When nearsighted Molly Brickmeyer stumbled into the library looking for her glasses, she bumped into a shelf, and a book tumbled into her hands. As she began to read aloud, and the children came to listen, they came face to face with Miss Lotta Scales. Could a book read out loud temper the flames of the school’s hot-headed librarian?

  Is there anything more terrifying than waiting for an enemy you’ve never seen—and might never face? That’s the lonely fate of Charles Ferreno, a man exiled to a lifeless asteroid out on the edge of the galaxy. For twenty-four years he has lived without companionship, without purpose, without even the comfort of knowing whether the threat he guards against is real. His only company is the constant hum of scanners, the weight of silence, and the gnawing fear that if the alarm ever sounds, he will already be too broken to matter. Yellow Streak Hero is Harlan Ellison at his unflinching best: psychological, claustrophobic, and brutally honest about what isolation does to the human mind. 
  Ferreno isn’t just stationed in the void—he’s slowly becoming part of it. He has gone through every phase: rage, madness, despair, numbness, and now a fragile balance built on routine and fastidious control. He cleans obsessively. He recites books from memory until the words lose meaning. He talks to himself so he won’t forget how speech works. He has forgotten what a woman’s voice sounds like. He remembers the day they took him—young, in love, full of life—and dropped him into a metal shell, sealing the door behind him. And now, when the scanners finally detect something—something vast, something approaching—Ferreno must confront the truth about why he was chosen… and whether anyone ever expected him to survive. 
  Yellow Streak Hero was first published in Amazing Stories in 1957, during the early, explosive years of Harlan Ellison’s career.
