"New Moon"

I know, I know, I know. You are sick of the "Twilight" frenzy and you have probably already read the entire series. But in honor of the second movie in the series ("New Moon") coming out this weekend, I had to write this post.

In "New Moon" Bella and Edward are smitten...until Jasper makes a run at Bella when she gets a paper cut. Edward decides that he must leave to protect Bella, and breaks her heart in the process. In steps Jacob who wants to sweep poor Bella off her feet, much to her resistance. In the end Bella must save Edward in a race against the Volturri and fate...Vampires and Werewolves and Vampires, oh my!

This series does deal with teenage themes. If you haven't read "Twilight" start there...if you are a younger reader try a different (but just as wonderful) fantasy series, "Eragon".
