Stories that violate the laws of physical reality fall into the genre of fantasy fiction. Science fiction is a subgenre of fantasy. All of science fiction falls into the fantasy genre; however, not all fantasy is science fiction.
Criteria for Evaluating Science Fiction and Fantasy for Children
- Despite the fantastic aspects of the story, characters must behave in consistent and believable ways. This way, the reader feels drawn to the fantasy world and perhaps considers the possibility of this.
- There must still be rules for the fantasy world. Otherwise, there would be no order and it would be even less believable.
- Authors must assist readers in the “willing suspension of disbelief.” This will make it interesting.
- The themes should explore universal truths. Despite the fantasy, the reader must be able to find connections.
