Twilight by: Stephenie Meyer


This is the first book of the series. It starts off with a girl named Bells (Isabella), at the airport leaving to go a town named Forks, Washington from her regular home, Phoenix, Arizona. Her parents are divorced and she wanted to leave her mom for a while to live with her dad.
She moves into her new home in Forks, Washington with her dad, Charlie, and enrolls into her new school. On her first day of school everyone expects her to come because there are only over 300 kids in the whole high school. She makes friends easily unlike her old school, (she's very shy).
One day Bella notices 5 very beautiful high schoolers of the same family at a table alone. They all had straight faces but Bella mostly noticed the Bronze red haired boy named Edward. There is something about them that she is going to try to find out... but can she?

It was very extraordinary! Unlike any other book I've ever read. The book goes by really quickly, and it's like you never want to stop reading it! They're VERY awesome books!

The Sight by: Erin Hunter


It's the first book of the "third" series, and it's about a blind kitten named Jaykit that wants to be a warrior, but he can't because he's blind. He hates his destiny, but his ancestors from Starclan come to remind him that he holds the power of the stars with his sister and brother, but is this true?
