Stephenie Meyer (Who Wrote That? Series)

by Tracey Baptiste, Kyle Zimmer (Foreword by)

Overview

In 2003, Stephenie Meyer had a dream about a vampire and a girl who were in love. When she started writing down the tale the next morning, she had no idea that it would make her the Cinderella of the young-adult publishing world by the end of that year. Meyer's debut novel, Twilight, set in modern-day Forks, Washington, combined the feel of a romantic Victorian novel with contemporary sensibilities to become an overnight best seller. Now, with millions of copies of the Twilight series sold worldwide and translations in more than three-dozen languages, there is no disputing Meyer's popularity among teens and adults alike. Learn about her meteoric rise to literary superstardom in Stephenie Meyer.
