The aim of this paper is to present a reflection on the fantastic narrative and its potential for the reader's formation. In order to achieve this goal, the tale “O Buraco”, written by Luiz Junqueira Vilela (2016, p.19-38), chosen from his collection Três Histórias Fantásticas (2016), which takes part of the collections of 2011 of PNBE – Programa Nacional Biblioteca na Escola, aimed at high school youth. It is intended to problematize, in its analysis of this tale, the configuration in its narrative of the implicit reader, from the theoretical contributions of Reception and Effect Aesthetics (JAUSS, 1994; ISER, 1996 and 1999). This theoretical contribution is justified, since the works intended for the juvenile public explicitly reception. Furthermore, this approach allows us to observe whether this short story, written in the late 1960s, has the vitality to captivate the young reader, as it maintains communicability in reading and promotes critical reflection through the breaking of his previous concepts and the expansion his/her expectations horizons.
