More and more often these days I'm seeing adults - men and women - asking for recommendations from our kids' fantasy section, only, not for their kids. If you are one of these people, there is no need to be embarrassed! You are not alone! It seems that now more than ever there are high quality, well written fantasy books for teens. Here are a few of my favorites.
