I grabbed the picture off of Google, but you know what? I think it IS a manip, and not an official poster for the movie! I'll switch it out if I when I have a chance. :-)
My own daughter has a weird 'relationship' with the books and the movie series. It's hard to tell if she read it because all her friends were into it, or reading it, or if it's the way it started, but then she got into it...and she *knows* what a stalker the vampire dude is, and I've talked to her about how twisted and unhealthy and misogynistic the relationships and books ARE, but it's still a love-hate she has with them. It IS the series that got her into reading for real pleasure (she's now reading much better written books with better characterized women in them).
Sorry for the mini-novella!
Is she still too young for Harry Potter? Whatever problems they have, they ARE fun books, and the first one, at least, starts the characters out only slightly older than her. She's grown SO MUCH! What is she into reading?
