From adventures in magical realms to quiet reckonings with the human heart, in worlds beyond our own and in the everyday struggles that shape us, the stories in this anthology display the talents of Lane County's young writers and reveal the extraordinary range of young imaginations at work. Fiction Fantastic, a project of Wordcrafters' youth programming, is one of the few opportunities for students in Lane County, Oregon, to showcase their writing, learn their craft, and engage with other writers.
