This book is not as well written as Harry Potter or the Bartimaeus Trilogy, but it was okay. The story line got to be a little much - Lyra just didn't seem to be a believable heroine to me. There is a lot of action that keeps the book moving and is probably engaging for kids, but it isn't the best. I probably will not read the next two books. I would recommend instead: "The Bartimaeus Trilogy" by Jonathan Stroud or "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.
