Twilight
Gr 9 Up--Headstrong,
sun-loving, 17-year old Bella declines her mom's invitation to move to Florida,
and instead reluctantly opts to move to her dad's cabin in the dreary, rainy
town of Forks, WA. She becomes intrigued with Edward Cullen, a distant,
stylish, and disarmingly handsome senior, who is also a vampire. When he
reveals that his specific elan hunts wildlife instead of humans, Bella deduces
that she is safe from his bloodsucking instincts and therefore free to fall
hopelessly in love with him. The feeling is mutual, and the resulting volatile
romance smolders as they attempt to hide Edward's identity from her family and
the rest of the school. Meyer adds an eerie new twist to the mismatched,
star-crossed lovers theme: predator falls for prey, human falls for vampire.
This tension strips away any pretense readers may have about the everyday teen
romance novel, and kissing, touching, and talking take on an entirely new
meaning when one small mistake could be life-threatening. Bella and Edward's
struggle to make their relationship work becomes a struggle for survival,
especially when vampires from an outside clan infiltrate the Cullen territory
and head straight for her. As a result, the novel's danger-factor skyrockets as
the excitement of secret love and hushed affection morphs into a terrifying
race to stay alive. Realistic, subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, Twilight will have readers dying to
sink their teeth into it.--Hillias J. Martin, New York Public Library
