Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | Twilight First Chapter Friday @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Friday, February 3, 2023 - In this week’s First Chapter Friday video I am reading chapter 1 of Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. This first book spurred and international zombie craze and created an army of paranormal romance readers! If you are looking an angsty, teen read to devour, this is it! Bonus, once you finish, there are more books (and movies!) waiting for you! In the comments let me know, which version did you prefer… the book or the movie?
** Please note, this book is definitely YA. The publisher recommends this book for grades 7 and up, but you know your students and school best. Use according to your own discretion. **
Book Blurb: Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife -- between desire and danger. Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
“Fall in love with the addictive, suspenseful love story between a teenage girl and a vampire with the book that sparked a "literary phenomenon" and redefined romance for a generation.” (New York Times).
"People do not want to just read Meyer's books; they want to climb inside them and live there." -- Time
