<p> This update to Herald's Fluent in Fantasy: A Guide to Reading Interests (Libraries Unlimited, 1999) features many titles published in the interim. The organization is quite similar, with many identically titled chapters and others that are expanded from sections in the previous volume....This resource should prove helpful for anyone looking for fantasy beyond the YA shelves. - <p>School Library Journal
