For the next week

The Twilight Saga is a very popular series among upper elementary (6th grade) and older ages. The newest book Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer comes out this Friday. In my opinion, it is as big a release as Harry Potter for most young adults.

First and formost this book is NOT a children's book. It was intended to be a children's book and it doesn't have the characteristics of a children's book.

Second, I am not recommending this book. I am merely writing on a critique of my thoughts concerning the book.

Thirdly, I was asked to write a review on these books as to help parents of older students to be able to understand what teens are reading and to allow students to voice thier opinions concerning the series.

Lastly, I feel it is extremely important to discuss hot topics in youth culture as to better understand them for ourselves and therefore better understand thier interaction with the youth.

Thanks to all who contribute your ideas and thoughts to this blog.
