Northern Lights
2 journalers for this copy...
From the blurb:
"WINNER OF THE CARNEGIE MEDAL & THE GUARDIAN AWARD
The first book in the HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy.
When Lyra's friend Roger disappears, she and her daemon, Pantalaimon, determine to find him. The ensuing quest leads them to the bleak splendour of the North, where armoured bears rule the ice and witch queens fly through the frozen skies - and where a team of scientists is conducting experiments too horrible to be spoken about.
Lyra overcomes these strange terrors, only to find something yet more perilous waiting for her - something with consequences which may even reach beyond the Northern Lights . . . "
Not just a kids book, this can be enjoyed by all ages. A real adventure, this books gripping plot, set in its own convincing world, is so compelling that you will find it hard to do anything else until you have finished it.
I defy anyone who has read this not to go out imediately - as I did - and buy the second and third parts of HIS DARK MATERIALS.
P.S.
I wish I had a daemon of my own!
Second copy bought from charity shop for bookcrossing purposes.
