Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer is a continued series, the third book of the Twilight Saga. Like always, Bella is like a danger magnet. She is tracked and traced by vampires, but Bella has so many myth-like creatures protecting her, especially Edward and Jacob. Bella has so much in her mind: the unknown mysterious incidents that's happening all over Seattle, dealing with Jacob’s huge changes as a werewolf, the Volturi lurking behind the shadows, and last but not least one of the most important decisions that Bella has to make in her life. Even though there's a lot to deal with right now, Bella has to keep the ‘mortal enemies’ from growling and snapping at each other, like fire and ice. Can Bella survive through all of this mess? (There is lots of romance in this book.) 

Five out of five stars! 

Ghosts, summer holidays, family and friendship and self understanding are central to this book.

Beautifully written and sympathetically told, Bug faces her grief after her beloved uncle's death. Haunted by his ghost, who no one else can see, she tries to work out what he is trying to tell her... and who his questions and hints are about.

Often called 'The Nigerian Harry Potter', I really enjoyed this magical story about discovering a wholoe new world of magic that lives along side the mundane one.

There are no muggles - only Lambs. Wizards call themselves Leopard People.

The main character is an albino Nigerian girl who was raised in America - and who knows nothing about Leopard people, magic or her own abilities. As she discovers and learns about her powers with her new friends, they must quickly learn to work as a team as they face off against bullies, abusive fathers and black magic witches who want to take over the world!
