Second in the His Dark Materials trilogy, this book was as much of a page-turner as the first one. This book begins in "our" world at the home of a young boy named Will, who eventually meets up with Lyra, the girl from The Golden Compass, and they set out on their own adventures together from 'our' world to parallel universes that are recognizable but vastly different as they try to stop the evil Mrs. Coulter and her friends from gaining control of "dust."
