Explore Magical Realism

Try Magical Realism. It’s a genre that differs from fantasy: A magical element is woven into a realistic story, creating an interesting twist on "real life" events.

Here are some great magical realism reads:

The Mostly True Story of Jack by Kelly Barnhill

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

The Aviary by Kathleen O’Dell
