Children's Literature Briefly: Chapter 10

Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Saddle River NJ: Prentice Hall, 2008.


When I first saw that chapter 10 was about modern fantasy my first thought was about science fiction books. I was really surprised to find out that there are several different categories that fall under modern fantasy, and that magic is the main aspect of the modern fantasy. What I thought was very interesting is that good fantasy tells the truth about life, and that fantasy can capture all of the emotions, fears and hopes of the reader.
