Asking for a friend.....would you let your 10 yr old read the Twilight books?

It depends on what kind of girls she is. Is she an avid reader or does she just want to read it because everyone else is? Then again it's very big with the tweens. I say go ahead and let her there's nothing too terrible in the first two which are the only ones i've read so far. however i've heard it does get a little nuttier in last book. Just make sure that she talks to her and her daughter doesn't get too scared.

Def depends on the child.

I definitely dont see the harm in her tween reading the book. Maybe if she is that worried she should read with her or ahead of her before she gives the final go ahead. I would let my daughter read it if she was 10. It would give me the opportunity to talk to my daughter about relationships and sex with out hesitation and using the decisions that Edward made to wait until marriage and what not. Talking it out with her by using such a popular book would make it easier for her daughter to open up about questions and for future confidence that she can go to her mother when the time comes that she starts her menstrual cycle.

I personally would not allow my children. My now 9 year old daughter has asked and I've informed her that I don't wish for her to read the series until she's at least 13 years old since a lot of the book is surrounded around seduction, romance, and sexual desire. The books are more intense than the movies and as most books gives more details, so although you do not have explicit sex it is talked about and insinuated, hence her having a baby.

Now my daughter has been reading pre-teen books since she was 7 years old, but they are series we approve of such as Angie Sages Septimus Heap series, JK rowlings Harry Potter's series and Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series.

The books have enough sexual content that I probably wouldn't let a 10 year old read them....but a 13 year-old, yeah, that'd be okay. The movie had very little sexual content...I don't know about New Moon, but she could see the movie instead.

I was told by my son's 5th grade teacher that he should read them but to stop at the 4 th book. But my son is an advanced reader. He started reading Harry potter when he was 6. I figured I'd read the books first and see what I thought of them before I let him read them.

Personally I think every parent knows their child best and if they read the books and think their kid will be okay with it then let them read them.

YES. I don't see any reason why I wouldn't.

Let them read it its a really good book. if they r still young and cant readdont give it to him. he or she will tear it up.in other words brake the book!!!

I haven't read the last book, but the others were ok. It really all depends on the child and her maturity level. My 11 &10 yr olds have read all but the last book; when something comes up that they want to discuss, I discuss it with them. I know they've read far more violent - Lord of the Rings. And there have been a few dragon books. So, Twilight, not a big deal in this house.

My 10 year old has started reading twilight, but she's only a few chapters in and she gets distracted easily lol. She's seen the movie, so not to much of a leap for her to read the book
