Rosemary Chance states in her book, Young Adult Literature In Action: A Librarian’s Guide that “In fantastic fiction, imagination rules. In any fiction authors use their imagination to create characters and events and to describe settings. Imagination is at the core of writing. In fantastic fiction, the author has the freedom to take bold leaps into the bizarre, the strange, and the otherworldly. Imagination is unleashed to entertain and to mesmerize readers. Classic novels have taught readers to embrace the unusual, to savor oddity, and to want to read more.” Great authors of fantastic fiction have children and young adult fans that love their work and genre for these reasons that Chance speaks of.
