The Golden Compass

The modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named
an “All-Time Greatest Novel” and Newsweek hailed as a “Top
100 Book of All Time.” Philip Pullman takes readers to a
world where humans have animal familiars and where
parallel universes are within reach. Lyra is rushing to
the cold far North where witch clans and armored bears
rule. North where the Gobblers take the children they
steal–including her friend Roger. North where her
fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a
parallel world. Can one small girl make a difference in
such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra: a savage
a schemer a liar and as fierce and true a champion as
Roger or Asriel could want. But what Lyra doesnt know is
that to help one of them will be to betray the other… A
masterwork of storytelling and suspense Philip Pullmans
award-winning The Golden Compass is the first in the His
Dark Materials series which continues with The Subtle
Knife and The Amber Spyglass. A #1 New York Times
Bestseller Published in 40 Countries Arguably the best
juvenile fantasy novel of the past twenty years. —The
Washington Post Very grand indeed.—The New York Times
Pullman is quite possibly a genius. —Newsweek
