More Than Magic Mirrors: A
Fantasy Database
http://morethanmagicmirrors.wikidot.com
Though it comes from a long and distinguished tradition,
fantasy was
brought to the forefront of youth literature with the development of
Harry Potter mania and is now one of the most popular genres among
teens. More Than Magic
Mirrors is a youth fantasy literature database
covering authors, titles, series, lists, book trailers, and more.
Take time to delve into titles you've never heard of, to suggest
titles you'd like to see more of, and to contribute to discussions and
comment boards.
