Writing: Genre of the Month: Portal Fantasy

Hello, Friends! 

Portal fantasy is this month's genre. Portal fantasy, if you don't know, is fantasy that uses a portal to take you into a parallel world. To learn more, visit Lands Uncharted and read Erin's post “What is Fantasy?” here. Portal Fantasy would include: The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis (the portal would be the wardrobe), the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (Platform 9 3/4), The Magic Tree House series (the tree house) by Mary Pope Osborne, and
many more. I love the first three Chronicles of Narnia (in the order they were written), I love the first three to four-ish Harry Potter books, and I absolutely loved The Magic Tree House series when I was little, although I haven't read all of them.

Portal Fantasy is so fun, because it makes you think of things, whole worlds, even, that are lying in wait just around the corner. . . Of things yet to be discovered. . .Of what ifs. . .

What are you reading that's portal fantasy? Do you like portal fantasy? Do you have any good recommendations? Leave comments below!
