BREAKING DAWN

Stephenie Meyer talks about it



Breaking dawn is the last book from the Twilight saga, written by Stephenie Meyer.
In this book, Bella Swan and Edward Cullen finally marry, as that was the condition that would make Edward change his mind and transform Bella into a vampire. After the wedding, where everything went just perfect, they go to their honeymoon. As Edward didn’t tell her where they were going, Bella was surprised by their destiny: Isle Esme. This Island was Edwards parent’s property, but they had decided to let them spend their honeymoon there.
Firstly, everything was going as they had planned. But then, Edward can’t control his strength and hurts her. Everything starts to go wrong, and, when Bella gets sick, they have to return home. But, Bella wasn’t really sick. She was pregnant. After many discussions, she decides to have the baby, who will be half human and half vampire.
The baby develops very fast. In a few weeks, the baby is big enough to get out of the womb, but it is too big. During the birth, Bells loses a lot of blood, and, just in the last moment, Edward is able to transform her, saving her life.
When she wakes up, everyone realizes she isn’t a normal newborn. She is able to resist the scent of human blood and control herself, which is impossible for a newborn to do.
But, one day, when Renesmee (Bella and Edward’s child), Jacob and Bella are playing, another vampire sees them. That vampire thinks Renesmee is an immortal child, which is against the law the Vultui imposed upon every vampire.

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelly


"Everybody takes decisions in life but do you know how difficult love can be? Well, this novel tells the story of falling in love and losing love. The author takes us into a different world into a boy's mind: Leo's. Leo was just a normal teenager, until one day a girl appeared at school, a girl who had been home-schooled until now, she was called: Stargirl. Everybody thought her strange; as if she were from another world it seemed as if she was never there but really she was there. She didn't wear jeans, she wore long pioneer dresses, she was always playing the ukulele around hallways, and she carried her pet rat Cinnamon everywhere. She always made people happy, or that was what she tried to because not everybody loved her; people also hated her. She sang to everybody the happy birthday song and she went to funerals of people she didn't know. As several weeks passed by she began to be really popular and she was chosen to become part of the cheerleaders but one day a match was played and her team was winning. She started to cheer for the other team and that was when everything began, when she turned from being the most popular girl to the most hated girl throughout the whole school. But one day Leo fell in love, deeply in love with the worst girl he could have fallen in love: Stargirl. One night he follows her and he declares his love to Stargirl. As he spends more and more time with her he notices his friends stop talking to him and start to ignore him as if he wasn't there. He tries to change Stargirl convincing her to be "normal" so that his friends admit her into the group again but nothing works, so now he has to take the hardest decision in his life: he has to choose between Stargirl or his friends. What will he do?"
