The Golden Compass
Philip Pullman
*****
This book is about a girl named Lyra, this story's background is in a world similar to ours but different. Lyra lived in the Jordan College in Oxford, once she herd her uncle (or dad: she found out that it was her dad in the middle of the book) mentioned North and Dust (not the normal dust but Dust with capital D), and all the ice, the bears and also the Northern Lights. So she want to go to north. One day a woman named Mrs Coulter came and took Lyra to London and said that she will bring her to the North, at first Lyra loved Mrs Coulter very much but when she found out that she is one of the Gobblers-a gang of people who takes children away and no one know what they do with them. So Lyra ran away and met Tony Costa and they headed north in the end she found out that Dust is a thing that comes from another world and you can go though to another world by the northern lights, but you need an enormous power to do that. My favorite part is where they had a fight between the two armored bear Iorek Byrnison and Infur Raknison, because Philip Pullman described very well and all the moves and things.

I like the basic premise of the book, Heyang. It certainly looks like a series coming up. How about the best part? The battle must have been something. Tell about it. Bring it alive for us.
