The reluctant dragon

by Nick Bosustow

In The reluctant dragon, a dragon moves to a sleepy village, so the townspeople call St. George, the famous dragon exterminator, and look forward to the fight. A local lad has a chat with the dragon, however, and finds out that the dragon doesn't want to fight anyone. Is there a way to keep everybody happy? In The furious flycycle, Melvin Spitznagle, a mechanical genius, can't resist borrowing an inventor's anti-gravity pellet and trying to unravel its secrets.
