[ISLMA-Share] Fantasy Genre Recs

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I like *Fablehaven*, but I would place that on the creepy side!

What about *The Sisters Grimm*, by Michael Buckley? Or *Animorphs*? Also,
some classics - *The Time Machine*, *Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde*, *20,000
Leagues Under the Sea*?
