The ocean of fantasy and speculative fiction is vast beyond our imagining.

Are you looking for young adult books that inspire as they entertain? Have you struggled to find family friendly fantasy, literary historical fiction, YA fantasy, and teen and young adult books that are great reads? Do you know where to hunt for the gems of epic fantasy adventure series? Why does hope in fantasy, or Noblebright fantasy as they call it, matter to us?

Imaginative fiction is one key to our future, for beauty, mystery, and adventure are vital to our spirits.

The inspiring adventures we explore in this Fantasy Guide to Family Friendly Books ages 12 - 18 are beacons of extraordinary story. Most of them are lights by contrast, guiding us to enchanting lands of danger in the ocean of fantasy and speculative fiction. We bring up select jewels from the deep and explore mountain troves of fiction with seventy authors to whet your appetite for the riches heaped on untold shores.

Each story is a fantastic journey that invites us to search beyond what we see for truth, to dig deeper for courage. And each story has a soul of its own.

The soul of good fantasy adventure benefits us on three levels.

- The spiritual arena
- The wide world of ideas
- And the sphere we breathe in

Fantastic Journey answers the question, how do the quest and the hero's journey affect us all? In these pages heroes and heroines show us how to identify true gems of wisdom and sell them not. How to discern enemies, friends, and endless possibilities with our inner eye, and to touch and taste the truths of life in realms near and far. Find facets of the real reflected in the imaginary on every dive into the sea of imaginative fiction.

Each story that draws the contrast of light battling darkness, that mirrors reality, that calls us to the adventure of truth, that reveals the joy of wonder, and the beauty of brave action - that story is a precious jewel won from the sea.
