More Than Magic Mirrors: A Fantasy Database
http://morethanmagicmirrors.wikidot.com
Though it comes from a long and distinguished tradition, fantasy was brought to the forefront of youth literature with the development of Harry Potter mania and is now one of the most popular genres among teens. More Than Magic Mirrors is a youth fantasy literature database covering authors, titles, series, lists, book trailers, and more. Take time to delve  into titles you've never heard of, to suggest titles you'd like to see more of, and to contribute to discussions and comment boards.
