- Facts About Solar Energy
I’ve seen younger girls reading Twilight around her age, so I don’t see why it would be a problem.
I think you should give it to her to read for herself.
no no no no no read it yourself.
I think it will be alright to read it too her. Maybe you could alter that part in book three a little bit. Or maybe because she’s only eight she won’t understand. You could ask your parent too if it’s all right. Let them read that little part first.
i don’t think she’s old enough.
there are plenty of other romance stories
that are more appropriate for her age.
no, i don’t think so. she is too young to really understand love.
No – no one under 13 should read this tripe.
Meyer actually originally wrote Twilight for adults, and some where along the line the focus shifted to more of a young adult crowd. The reading level isn’t very difficult and there are many a readers younger than high school who can breeze through it; however, content-wise I don’t recommend even it to junior high school kids, so I especially wouldn’t read it to an eight year old. That being said it’s your call. You’re the one who can make those decisions, and you’re the one who knows your daughter.
I don’t think she would understand some of the emotions… like the obsessive love of imprinting and Edward’s and Bella’s even stronger love. Also, in New Moon, your sister might not understand why Bella would be the way she was.
And the kissing and stuff as well. It’s a romance novel, after all, and not many eight year olds would be able to get into them.
I don’t think I’d have enjoyed the book much if I was eight.
Ask your mom/dad, I think it would be fine becouse they don’t really say *** in the book much.If your mom/dad says that you can’t read it to her just skip that part. I tried to get my 8 year old sister to read twilight, then she screamed at me.

I think it’s a bit mature for an eight year old. She is not quite at the age where she can understand romance like in twilight. Maybe in a few years…Twilight is just such a physically romantic book, not appropriate for an eight year old in my opinion.
