One of three in trilogy The Dark Materials from Philip Pullman. It is great stuff.
It all starts in another world, it is very similar to ours, but quite different as well. The one thing is that every human has daemon. Daemon is creature that is bounded to his master and until the child is mature enough it is shifting shape. When child is mature enough, his daemon is "frozen" in same shape. Master and his daemon are bounded so hard that no daemon can go very far from his master.
In this world there are also witches and bears that also has consciousness and can communicate with each other.
The story is telling us about life of a young girl named Lyra. She does not know who her father and mother are. She was told that they both died. And she is living in the university where she is educated by scientists and personnel. She is living enjoyable life with her friends.
One day The chancellor gives her away to a beautiful and smart lady to be her assistant and that she could learn from her. At that time she did not know that she is really her mother.
Meanwhile there were many mysterious disappearing of young children all over the country. Nobody really knows what they are all about.
While Lyra lives by her mother she realizes that she is deeply evolved in this and that is when she escapes.
She came across traveling people that took her under their protection. They told her about her father and mother. One of theirs was her wet nurse. They decide that they will save the missing children and that is when they start traveling north.
In the north they meet bear that was exiled from his kind. He helps them. There are many battles and obstacles in front of their goal. But they reach it.
One of the girls goals was to rescue her father. When she is so far she realizes that her father also wants a child to complete his experiment.
Al the experiments were about Dust, a new kind of elemental particles that are sent to this world from a parallel universe through the Aurora Borealis (northern lights). The scientists believe that one could build the bridge that would lead right to the other universe.
In the end her father goes through and after him Lyra runs as well.
There is so much more about this book and story but too much to write it all here. Just can't wait to finish whole trilogy.
