The Golden Compass

by Philip Pullman   |  Ages 10+
$10.90
The Golden Compass
The Golden Compass

Fantasy adventure with animal spirits and universes.

If you're into epic adventures that blend fascinating concepts like animal familiars with the thrill of parallel universes, "The Golden Compass" could captivate your imagination. It's not just the rich world-building or the heart-racing plot that makes it a compelling read—it's the profound questions about freedom and knowledge at its core. Plus, Lyra is the kind of brave, complex heroine you can't help but root for.

Description

The extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller, hailed as one of the best books of all time, is the basis for the HBO original series His Dark Materials, which began in November 2019 and stars Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. An Entertainment Weekly "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek "Top 100 Book of All Time," Philip Pullman takes readers to a world where humans have animal familiars and where parallel universes are within reach. A war is brewing in Lyra's world—a battle between those who would keep people in ignorance and those who are willing to fight for true freedom. Lyra is thrust into the middle of the conflict when her uncle Asriel comes to Oxford, fomenting rebellion, and when her best friend, Roger, suddenly disappears. Lyra learns that Roger was kidnapped by a shadowy organization that steals children and, it is rumored, experiments on them. To find him, she will travel to the cold, far North, where armored bears and witch clans rule—and where her uncle Asriel is attempting to build a bridge to a parallel world. What Lyra doesn't know, mustn't know, is that her actions will have consequences not just in her world, but in all the worlds beyond. A masterwork of storytelling and suspense, Philip Pullman's award-winning The Golden Compass is the first in the His Dark Materials series, which continues with The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass.
