Abstract
The reciprocal influence between children and young adults and adults’ literary systems has been a constant feature since those first works what weren’t written for children but ended up being intended to them, which initiated the process of constitution of Children and Young Adults Literature. This study features the evolution of this relationship through the analysis of the fantasy construction of the novel for adults Every Heart A Doorway [translated into Spanish as Cada corazón, un umbral], written by Seanan McGuire and published originally in 2016, winner of the Hugo, Locus and Nebula awards 2017, some of the fantasy literature`s most important awards. The focus will be in how a complex of typifying fantasy narrative is created through the intertextuality with the most common fantasy formula in the children and young adults literary system, in which the main character travels from the primary world (the realistic one) to the secondary world (the fantastic one), from where the child returns after a complex and rewarding experience which makes him see the world through different eyes.
