Enchanted

I know many of our teen readers have made their way through Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, but now, everyone on staff is reading her, too. Now, five of us have become fans, and it's the talk of the staff room.

Never read it? Bella moves to Forks, Washington to live with her police chief father, Charlie. She meets Edward Cullen, a reclusive teen with a mysterious air (It's impossible not to talk in cliches about this book, apologies in advance). He's reluctant to befriend her, but Bella's compulsion is as strong as Edward's reserve. The book is an emotional tsunami with something to satisfy most readers. It's so popular Edward Cullen even has his own Myspace page. 3 books have been written (sequels New Moon and Eclipse) with a final book in the works.

Read it? Drop me a comment and tell me your thoughts.
