Northern Lights

Lyra Belacqua lives at Jordan College, Oxford, and she knows everything about her world — except the one thing that matters most.

Lyra's world is like ours and utterly unlike it — one where every person has a daemon, an animal companion that is also their soul. When children begin disappearing and Lyra's best friend is taken, she sets off with her daemon Pantalaimon on a journey into the frozen North, towards armoured bears, witches, and a secret so vast it threatens every world that exists. Philip Pullman's masterpiece opens here.

Northern Lights is a story about truth — about the kind of courage it takes to look honestly at the world rather than accept the comfortable version. It is also the most thrilling adventure in modern children's fiction.

Essential for readers aged 10 and up — one of the greatest opening novels in any series, and a book that genuinely changes how you see things.
