By Philip Pullman
Author Philip Pullman creates a new world for us in this exciting first book of his Dark Materials trilogy. The story centers on Lyra a girl who lives at Jordan College in London. In Lyra’s world, humans have animal companions call daemons who can speak and have their own personalities but are extensions of their human’s souls and therefore bond forever to them. She discovers people called Gobblers are kidnapping children and conducting horrible experiments on them. Lyra joins a band of gypitians who decide to go rescue the children. What Lyra doesn’t know and can’t find out is that she is a part of an ancient prophecy to save her world and move on to another parallel world. During her journey she comes across fascinating characters including armored polar bears, witches and a Texan balloonist. It’s fantasy at it’s best! Look for the movie coming out in December of this year. Go to the movie website and find out what kind of daemon you would have.
