I’m going to be talking about YA fantasy at the AzLA conference next week, and one thing my talk’s going to touch on is why YA fantasy has become so popular. I’ve been reading fantasy since my own teens–when reading fantasy wasn’t popular at all–so I have some theories, but I thought I’d ask any current teens (or just-past-teens) reading this: Why do you read fantasy?
And if you’re the parent of a teen and could ask them, that’d be cool, too.
