For months, my friends had been trying to get me to read the book Twilight. Everyone kept telling me, “The book was amazing!” At first, I did not believe them, because who wants to read about 
vampires and a small town? Eventually, though, my friends got me to read the first chapter of Twilight and I thought, “Well, you know, this is not too bad,” so I kept reading. Before I knew it I was done with that book and ready for the second one.
Twilight is about a girl named Bella. She is your average girl, just trying to get though high school one day at a time. Bella was doing just fine getting through high school, until she meets a guy name Edward who turns her life upside down.

The last book I read (in between semesters) was New Moon. This is the second book in the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. For much of the story, Bella is separated from her love, the vampire Edward. While this is heartbreaking, there is plenty of excitement as Bella’s friendship with 
Jake deepens and she discovers a secret about him (no spoilers here!).
School Library Journal says, “New Moon will more than feed the bloodthirsty hankerings of fans of the first volume and leave them breathless for the third.” This is one reader who will be reading the third and fourth volumes the first chance she gets.
Recommended for ages 15-adult.
