The Golden Compass - Philip Pullman



When the movie came out of this book I watched it along with millions of other people. The movie follows the book remarkable well. Young orphan girl lives in a male college under the protection of the scholars. It is a world very much like or own but one substantial difference is that souls exist outside the body in the form of an animal companion that can converse. The girl is restless and when a glamerous woman comes to the college and ask her to be her personal assistant she jumps at the chance. She finds herself looking for her best friend, running from her mother, hanging out with a talking bear, and looking for dust, a mysterious substance that covers most adults. I really enjoyed this book.
