The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Bk 1)

Excellent book! Provided food for thought as well as an exciting story. Following the exploits of Lyra and watching how she learns to trust others, and when not to trust, provides entertainment for the mature reader while it gives the younger crowd something to identify with and, perhaps, learn from. As happens so often, those who have seen the movie and are now reading the book - the ending is a bit different so no peaking!
