Bella moves to Forks, Washington to live with her father. The weather is drastically different from what is in Phoenix, Arizona. Attending a new high school, Bella makes some friends and becomes very interested in a group of teens who are intensely good looking, but "chalky pale" with "very dark eyes". Sitting next to one of them in Biology class, Bella thinks that he, Edward Cullend, doesn't like her. Later, she discovers that his feelings for her are so intense, he needs to take precautions to control himself around her. Edwards's very mysterious and attactive to Bella and Bella is growing more irresistable to Edward.

Graphic adaptation of the popular Twilight book. Predominately illustrated in black and white, most of the panels feature the characters. The few color pages add to the intensity and meaning of the scenes.

This graphic interpretation is a good introduction to the popular Twilight books; see the Stephanie Meyer site for more information. Gives insight into the main points of the first book, although the story lacks some continuity and the content is at a surface levl. May entice non-readers to want to pick up the original book.
