The first volume in Philip Pullman’s groundbreaking HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy, now a thrilling, critically acclaimed BBC/HBO television series. First published in 1995, and acclaimed as a modern masterpiece, this first book in the series won the UK’s top awards for children’s literature. “Without this child, we shall alldie.” Lyra Belacqua and her animal daemon live half-wild and carefree among scholars of Jordan College, Oxford. The destiny that awaits her will take her to the frozen lands of the Arctic, where witch-clans reign and ice-bears fight. Her extraordinary journey will have immeasurable consequences far beyond her own world…

There was such a rich casket of words and Lyra faces challenge after challenge to get to the place where the so-called "Gobblers" were holding children and their Daemons and helps everyone escape.

I really loved this book. It is about a girl called Lyra Belaqua, who lives in Oxford, but in a different dimension, who goes on a big adventure. I would recommend it for 10+, because it has tricky words, and is almost 400 pages long, and also may be scary for younger children.
