Do you like fantasy stories that take you to parallel worlds full of adventures, mysteries and magic?

If so, youll love British writer Philip Pullmans His Dark Materials trilogy. This masterpiece of young adult literature will have you traveling with two children, Lyra Belacqua and Will Parry, who embark on a mission to save the universe from the clutches of a powerful religious organization that wants to control the fate of all living things.

In the first book, The Golden Compass (published as Northern Lights in the UK and Australia), you will learn about the world of Lyra, where people have an animal that accompanies them and represents their soul, called a daemon. Lyra discovers the existence of the Dust, a mysterious substance that connects all the worlds, and the alethiometer, an artifact that allows her to know the truth about anything. But she also learns that the children are being kidnapped by the Gobblers, an organization that works for the Church and has sinister plans for them. Lyra decides to escape from her tutor, Mrs. Coulter, who happens to be one of the leaders of the Gobblers, and join the Gyptans, a nomadic people who seek to rescue missing children. On her way, she will meet witches, armored polar bears, balloonists and other fascinating characters.

In the second book, The Subtle Knife, Lyra meets Will, a boy from our world who is fleeing from some men who want to kill him for possessing a letter from his missing father. Will discovers a crack in the air that takes him to another world, where he finds Lyra and the alethiometer. Together they travel to the city of Cittàgazze, where they find a very special knife that can cut through anything, even the barriers between worlds. But the knife also comes at a price: every time they use it, they release specters that devour the souls of adults. Meanwhile, the Church prepares for a war against Lord Asriel, Lyras uncle and a rebel who wants to overthrow the Authority, the supreme being that rules the universe.

In the third and final book, The Amber Spyglass, Lyra and Will face the biggest challenge of their lives: finding the source of the Dust and preventing the Church from destroying it. For this they will have to travel to the world of the dead, where they will meet old friends and enemies. They will also have to fight against the forces of evil that want to separate them forever. And above all they will have to discover the true meaning of love and sacrifice.
