His Dark Materials # 1 - Fantasy Teens

The first book in the
HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy

When Lyra’s friend Roger disappears, she and her dæmon, Pantalaimon, determine 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…

Lindsey Fraser, SCOTSMAN

“beautifully written, shocking, moving, intellectually funny and displays the most magnificent invention”
Jan Mark, TIMES EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT

“the threads of fantasy, terror and grandiose follies are merged with unusual and mesmerising skill”
