If Robert Pattinson hadn't played the part of Edward Cullen then there won't have been the same level of interest in Forks.

Last weekend they held a Twilight summer school which allowed fans the opportunity to attend classes in Forks high school, explore the town and go to a prom.

Twilight super-fan Kaleb Nation told MTV News: "The town was having some major economic issues, because their major export was logging - and then Twilight came along.

"And if you look at Forks now, Stephenie has transformed this town into a Twilight tourism economy. It's crazy."
