| Publisher Description: The world of Philip Pullman s internationally bestselling His Dark Materials saga is brought to visual life in book 1 of a three-volume graphic adaptation of "The Golden Compass." Lyra Belacqua is content to run wild among the scholars of Jordan College, with her daemon familiar always by her side. But the arrival of her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, draws her to the heart of a terrible struggle a struggle born of Gobblers and stolen children, and a mysterious substance known as Dust. As she hurtles toward danger in the cold far North, Lyra never suspects the shocking truth: she alone is destined to win or to lose this more-than-mortal battle. The stunning full-color art offers both new and returning readers a chance to experience the story of Lyra, an ordinary girl with an extraordinary role to play in the fates of multiple worlds, in an entirely new way. Superb . . . all-stops-out thrilling. " The Washington Post"" |
