Northern Lights
by Philip Pullman (Author)
When Lyra's friend Roger disappears, she and her daemon, Pantalaimon, set out 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...
Please note: This book has also been published under the title 'The Golden Compass.'
