POPULAR MODERN FANTASY

THE WONDERFUL VISITThe Wonderful Visit tells the story of a fallen angel who one night arrives in a small English village called Sidderton, where he faces the struggles of adapting to everyday life, and has to deal with the problem that his pureness and wholesomeness makes him disliked by the other villagers, but the longer he stays on earth, the more human he becomes.

THE ENCHANTED CASTLE by E.NesbitThe enchanted castle is a country estate in the West Country seen through the eyes of three children, Gerald, James and Kathleen, who discover it while exploring during the school holidays. The lake, groves and marble statues, with white towers make a fairy-tale setting, and then in the middle of the maze in the rose garden they find a sleeping fairy-tale princess.

The "princess" tells them that the castle is full of magic, and they almost believe her. She shows them the treasures of the castle, including a ring she says is a ring of invisibility, but when it actually turns her invisible she panics and admits that she is the housekeeper's niece, Mabel, and was just play-acting.

The children soon discover that the ring has other magical powers

Unable to verbalize what happened, Melinda nearly stops speaking altogether, expressing her voice through the art she produces for Mr.Freeman's class. This expression slowly helps Melinda acknowledge that she was raped, face her attacker, and recreate her identity.

BRIDGE TO TERABITHIABridge to Terabithia is the story of fifth grader Jess Aarons, who becomes friends with his new neighbor Leslie Burke after he loses a footrace to her at school. Leslie is a smart, talented, outgoing tomboy, and Jess thinks highly of her. He himself is an artistic boy who, in the beginning of the novel, is fearful, angry, and depressed.
