His Dark Materials
Philip Pullman
Enter a parallel universe where science, theology, and magic intertwine. Follow Lyra, an orphan, on her quest to understand the mysterious Dust phenomenon and to rescue kidnapped children. Along the way, Lyra joins forces with Will, who possesses a knife that cuts windows between different worlds. As the young duo fights against celestial powers, they uncover the truth about Lyra's destiny and the war they are caught up in. Experience a spellbinding adventure featuring armoured polar bears, witches and daemons. HIS DARK MATERIALS blends metaphysical speculations with bravura storytelling, reimagining Milton's Paradise Lost in an audacious and profound way. A monumental and enduring achievement.

My favorite fantasy novels which I gave my sons at a similar age: The Golden Compass trilogy by Philip Pullman (also known as His Dark Materials. So well written. I enjoyed it as much as they did. #fantasy #youngadult #BookRecommendations – source2020-11-22T03:08:26.000Z
FINALLY almost caught up on @daemonsanddust and just like when I was reading the #HisDarkMaterials books I don't want it to end (thankfully we have a while I think). Wish I'd been tweeting this adventure while watching it...but so many thoughts! So inspired all over again. – source2022-02-21T11:27:53.000Z
@GeorgeSilverman Terrible phrase, but amazing mindset! I actually discovered this principle when re-reading His Dark Materials by @PhilipPullman, which was one of my favourite books when I was a kid 😊 – source
