Question about "New Moon" and "Eclipse"

FutureMrsWagner

Since my 9 year old saw Twilight with me she is totally into all of it now and wants me to read the next books to her.  Is there anything ranchy (rounchy?)  (sp?) in them that I should be concerned with?  I mean...any sex scenes or anything that would not be appropriate for her?  There wasn't anything in Twilight, the book, that was too much for her, but the one scene in the movie where Bella is in her bed in her t-shirt and panties kissing Edward passionatley was a little embarrassing...I had to cover her eyes!

She does NOT need to read Breaking Dawn.  I think they discuss sex in Eclipse, too.

They talk about sex a lot in Eclipse. They do have sex in BD, but they don't go into detail at ALL! I still wouldnt recommend it for her though. Maybe you should read them first just to feel better about them and make sure.

I agree with the PP's.  If I were you, I would read them first and decide if you think it's appropriate for your daughter.  Sex is discussed in Eclipse (I think) and I wouldn't recommend reading Breaking Dawn to her at all.

Thanks ladies!  Okay, so I now I REALLY can't wait to read those two!  LOL!  Hmm...now I have to figure out how to explain to her that I can't read them to her...

new moon is ok but like pps said, it's discussed in eclipse and bd..however, the sex scene is implied (fade to black..it's next morning) but there's something else in BD that might be a bit too much for her. i agree about you reading them first and making a call afterwards.

Yeah...there are things in these books that are honestly are too morbid for a 9 year old. it The series really is 'made' towards teenagers at a minimum, they can take some of its darker aspects in context with the story. I wouldn't go beyond Twilight with her, personally.

I remember getting "the talk" when I was 10.  It may have been a little less scary if I had a book to relate it all to.  I can understand it being embarrassing to read out loud to her though.  The Twilight series really puts sex in a meaningful light which would be good to instill in her a 'sex is special' attitude at a young age.  But ask me what I'd do in like twelve years and I may change my tune!  Lol.
