Twilight is the famous 4-part series book about the love between a vampire and a teenage girl. Bella is an ordinary girl who moved to Seattle to live with her father. She is a shy, quiet girl who mostly keeps to herself. She sits next to a mysterious boy named Edward in one of her classes and gets the feeling like he does not like her. As time goes on and Bella observes Edward, she senses that something is different about him and ultimately realizes that he is a vampire. Edward is a vampire that does not human blood, only animal blood. Two try to stay away, but realize that their connection is much to strong. Being in love with a vampire is difficult, especially when other vampires in town want to eat you. The first book in the series only touches on the crazyness that is The Twilight Saga.
The Twilight books, especially the first one, are extremely popular among teenagers, specifically girls. The reason I think this is, is because many young girls can relate to Bella. She is the gorgeous popular beauty in the school, but an average teenage girl. There is also something very intriguing about a forbidden love as well dating a boy who would do just about anything for you.
Though many think this book is just for girls, I have heard of boys reading the book and enjoying it. There is actions\fighting scenes between the vampires and in the later books with werewolves. I think there is much for boys to like about this book other then the main romance. This book is probably for students in 6-8 grade. It has some risque content in the later series, but I think most young readers have seen or heard of the same stuff on television or in movies. It is a great modern day Romeo and Juliet with a twist and with the current vampire craze, many students will probably want to read it.
