According to specialized literature, fantasy literature is characterized by the creation of imaginary realities and a strong presence of magic, which is why it relies on the creation of neologisms to name characters, places, or qualities outside this reality. This is interesting for translation studies because their translation must consider aspects such as grammatical differences and the cultural load, which often has no other referents than the text itself. For this reason, this research analyzes the translation from English to Peninsular Spanish of the neologisms in the Ever After High series of young adult fantasy books to identify the translation method and how it reconstructs the narrative of fiction in fantasy literature in the target text. In this sense, the semantic content and the formation process of these neologisms must be considered. The concepts of literary translation, fantasy genre, young adult literature, and neologism support this research. Concepts that we will explore deeply in our three main theoretical categories, these are literary translation of the fantasy genre for young adults, neologisms, and translation methods and techniques. Likewise, the research assumes that fantastic neologisms name concepts outside this reality, including characters, places, magical objects, and social classes. Also, it is assumed that most of the neologisms will be formed by the composition of lexical or inflectional units. Finally, it is assumed that some of these neologisms were translated into Peninsular Spanish using calque and borrowing.
