Fantasy is fiction or a "made up" story that has elements or parts that are not realistic. Characters may have magical or supernatural powers or use some futuristic technology that allows fantastic things to happen. Fantasies may contain talking beasts, underground kingdoms, secret immortality (living forever or never dying), and mysterious wizards.
Oh, and look for books with blue and black covers. That seems important.
