Modern Fantasy Fiction and Teens, Part 2

In Part 1, I revealed my thinking about teens and Christians in general reading fantasy fiction. In this post, I’ll lay out some recommendations, as well as the reasons I’m recommending them.  In some ways, my list makes me feel a bit of a curmudgeon, because they are the fantasy fiction released in previous generations.  Isn’t that just like an…
