The Golden Compass
In a parallel universe, a curious orphan uncovers a dangerous secret and leaves her sheltered life for an adventure in the frozen North. Guided by a mysterious truth-telling device, she encounters armored bears, powerful enemies, and a hidden threat involving missing children.
My takeYou’ll enjoy this colorful, adventurous fantasy if you like Harry Potter or Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children; Not for you if you need a fully resolved story or richly developed characters.
