The Golden Compass is set in another world where everyone’s soul lives outside of their body as a demon instead of in side of them. This is about a young girl named Lyra who sneaks into a room inside of the college she lives at and finds out all about the odd substance called Dust. This leads her to places such as the arctic to meet many unimaginable things such as polar bears wearing armor and witch clans. I thought this book was terrific and full of wonderful reading.
