    @Im_your_Huckleberry: You need some sort of literary methadone, another series to catch her interest. Try L'Engle, maybe Tamora Pierce, or the Inkheart trilogy, McCaffrey's Harper Hall series, maybe Jane Yolen. For less fantasy, try "Wolves of Willoughby Chase" by Joan Aiken. (Actually, this last one's probably best for a ten year old.)

    If none of this works... There is no hope. You are lost. Condolences.

    @Im_your_Huckleberry: There's a chance she might be lost, for a few years at least. My younger cousins usually don't read books but have gotten sucked into Twilight. I would agree with the previous suggestion of Tamora Pierce(especially her excellent Lioness Quartet as a starter), Gail Carson Levine (her books are perfect for 10 year olds), and Patricia C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles. All of these authors write fantasy books with strong female heroines and plot lines that aren't just centered around romance.
    You might also want to talk with her about what a healthy relationship actually looks like, otherwise you'll find her dating creepy, pale boys who stalk and control her. #firelight

    Most of their digital shorts are barely more than taking a couple of the cast members through the costume department. But they really pulled out the stops on this one. I've seen hour long episodes of TV series with production values not as good as what I saw last night in this digital short: costumes, sets, makeup, soundtrack, special effects, etc. Taylor Swift was a better actress and comedian than a lot of guest hosts I've seen too. Kinda impressive. #firelight

    @spocko: Your friend's right.

    Me, I totally want to buy the by-products for this. I can't wait to wear my Franks-underpants (with bolts protruding at awkward places)

    Now tell me people: don't you think that this would have made a much better film?
    Plus, I'd never say it out loud, but I think I might have a thing for green-skinned freaks now. At least I can see a lot more appeal in them than in twitarded vampires.

    Again, must be (bunnies) the bolts. #firelight
