Based on author Philip Pullman‘s bestselling and award–winning novel, "The Golden Compass" tells the first story in Pullman‘s "His Dark Materials" trilogy. "The Golden Compass" is an exciting fantasy adventure, set in an alternative world where people‘s souls manifest themselves as animals, talking bears fight wars, and Gyptians and witches co–exist. At the center of the story is Lyra, a young girl living among scholars in the hallowed halls of Jordan College, who tears unsupervised through Oxford‘s motley streets on mad quests for adventure. But Lyra‘s greatest adventure begins closer to home, the day she hears hushed talk of an extraordinary particle. Microscopic in size, the magical dust– found only in the vast Artic expanse of the North –was rumored to possess profound properties that could unite whole universes. But there are those who fear the particle and will stop at nothing to destroy it. Catapulted into the heart of a terrible struggle, Lyra is forced to seek aid from clans, gyptians, and formidable armored bears. And as she journeys into unbelievable danger, she has not the faintest clue that she alone was destined to win, or to lose, this more–than–mortal battle…
