    "Twilight" is the first novel in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. It was published in 2005 and has become extremely popular. A film adaptation was released in 2008.
    The story centres around Bella Swan, a seventeen year old who has just moved from Phoenix, Arizona, to Forks, Washington, with her father. Bella’s parents are separated and her mother has a new husband. Bella moves to a new school, where she receives attention from a number of boys. One her first day, she is placed next to a boy called Edward Cullen.

    At first, it seems as though Edward dislikes Bella, but over the next few days, they build up a friendship. Edward later saves Bella’s life when she is nearly run over by a van at the school. He prevents the van from running her over by stopping it with his bare hands. Bella wishes to find out how Edward managed to save her and begins to questions him. After tricking Jacob Black, a family friend, into giving her information, she eventually discovers that Edward is a vampire. Edward and Bella grow closer and he tells her that the reason it seemed as though he disliked her to start with was because he wanted to avoid her after finding the scent of her blood desirable. As the story progresses, Edward and Bella’s feeling for each other grow and they eventually fall in love.

    Another vampire named James arrives in Forks, and immediately targets Bella. Edward’s family, who are also vampires, attempt to split up Bella and Edward. Bella goes into hiding in a hotel back in Phoenix. Whilst there, James contacts her, telling her that he is holding her mother captive. Bella goes to him and he attacks her. She is rescued by Edward and his family, but has been bitten by James. Edward and the other Cullens kill James and Edward stops Bella from turning into a vampire by sucking the venom out of her before it spreads. After being checked at a hospital, Bella returns to Forks with Edward.

    The novel ends with the couple attending the school prom. Bella tells Edward that she wishes to become a vampire, but he refuses to change her into one himself.

      Twilight is a book about a girl called Isabella Swan, Bella for short. Her parents are split up and her mum's going to live on the road with her new husband. So Bella moves from Phoenix, Arizona to a town called Forks, the wettest place in Seattle to live with her Dad, Charlie. In her new school Bella sees a family of loners, all these kids are adopted and going out with each other. Except for the youngest, a boy Bella's age, called Edward Cullen. The entire family's a bit strange, but Edward is the most odd, and Bella finds herself falling for him, and Edwards holding a dark secret...
      There, read it to find the rest! That's all you're getting out of me!

She`s gonna study at Forks High School , where she meets friendsly, shy and gossip girl, there she met the the good`looiking guys which was pale white skinned, yellow eyes and graceful, which was known as Dr. Carlisle and his wife`s adopted children, but for a coincidence Bella did not undestand the expression of the youngest and handsome boy who`d been her seatmate in her Biology class, she thoght she smelled bad because of he`s expression . A week that Edward didn`t come to school because of the fear , He might kil Bella, and expose themselves from who they are because of Bella`s strong scent that made him feel moe thirsty and hungy, when He was comforted by Tanya he dicided to go back to Forks and face it.   Bella got confused when Edward had saved him by the van that was going to crash her, because she saw Edward outside of his car hoping Bella would talk to him, but she was startled to see lunged himself across the van and her. Edward can`t ignore her anymore , after what he`d heard from Alice. Edward did love Bella, that he can`t  leave her. When Bella was trying to figure out what Edward is, she finaslly got lucky, when she and her friends invited her to trip t La push beach, she met Jacob Black, one of the Quileute tribe , her father and his father had been best friends since born.
