FANTASY: Any novel that is disconnected from reality. Often such novels are set in nonexistent worlds, such as under the earth, in a fairyland, on the moon, etc. The characters are often something other than human or include nonhuman characters.
Popular fantasy novels include the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling, The Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi, A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, and the Narnia Chronicles, by C. S. Lewis.
