The Golden Compass
by Philp Pullman


The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman is the first part of a series of three books. It begins when Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon hide in a wardrobe at Jordan College in Oxford. The information that they overhear about Dust changes their lives forever. First, when children are being kidnapped by the Gobblets, what will happen to them? Can Lyra save them when she, too, gets kidnapped on an expedition up north? Will she succeed in rescuing her true father from the armored bears of Svalbard? Find all this out and more by going to your local library! The Golden Compass is a very unique read with new ideas about our souls and original sin. It is a fun read, always coming up with something new. Check it out at a library near you!
