Day Nine: Twilight

The release this year of Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga coincided with the release of the film version of the saga's first book, creating a YA literary phenomenon not unlike that seen with Harry Potter. Around the world devoted teenage and adult fans have snatched up Stephenie Meyer's vampire books in record quantities sometimes even outnumbering those for J.K. Rowling's boy wizard series.

Twilight tells the story of Bella, the new teenager at school, who meets and falls in love with Edward, one of a small group of teenage vampires who keep strictly to an animal diet, having renounced human prey. Romance and horror ensue. If the YA reader on your gift list is not already firmly ensconced in the Twilight Saga, ensconce them.
