Citation:
Pullman, Philip. The golden compass, New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 1996.

 
Annotation:
This compelling and richly detailed classic explores Lyra Belacqua’s alternate universe of armoured polar bears, shape-shifting daemons, and a truth-telling device, as she unravels the mystery of Dust, and what happened to her friend Roger, as the kidnapping Gobblers become more than just a story. The witches begin to gather and reports of disturbing experiments bring her further and further north, while her uncle, Lord Asriel is conducting experiments of his own, which may change not just her world, but every alternate universe, forever.
