Is Twilight Good To Read To An Eight Year Old Girl?
I want to read Twilight series to my eight year ancient sister. But I wonder is she the right age to read Twilight, because I am thinking about the scene in the thrid book where Bella wants to have sex with Edward, she knows about sex already. I just thinking it a excellent thought to read Twilight to her? She like romance tales, I try to read her Harry Potter didn’t like it.
no, i don’t reckon so. she is too young to really know like.
I don’t reckon she would know some of the emotions… like the obsessive like of imprinting and Edward’s and Bella’s even stronger like. Also, in New Moon, your sister might not know 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 reckon I’d have loved the book much if I was eight.

no no no no no read it yourself.
I reckon it’s a bit mature for an eight year ancient. She is not quite at the age where she can know romance like in twilight. Maybe in a few years…Twilight is just such a physically romantic book, not appropriate for an eight year ancient in my opinion.
Hahaha NO.
Meyer really 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 hard and there are many a readers younger than high school who can breeze through it; but, content-wise I don’t recommend even it to junior high school kids, so I especially wouldn’t read it to an eight year ancient. 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 reckon she’s ancient enough.
there are plenty of other romance tales
that are more appropriate for her age.
I reckon it will be alright to read it too her. Maybe you could alter that part in book three a small bit. Or maybe because she’s only eight she won’t know. You could question your parent too if it’s all right. Let them read that small part first.
I reckon you should give it to her to read for herself.
Question your mom/dad, I reckon it would be fine becouse they don’t really say sex 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 ancient sister to read twilight, then she screamed at me.
I’ve seen younger girls reading Twilight around her age, so I don’t see why it would be a problem.
No – no one under 13 should read this tripe.
