Maya's Review on the Golden Compass

The golden compass is about an eleven year old named Lyra, who grew up and orphan. One day Lyra decides to spy on a meeting of the scholars who are taking care of her, and finds out information that sets her on a strange adventure, full of witches, armored bears, and great dangers.

This was my third time reading the book and I loved it all the same. It's fast paced and suspenseful, with just the right amount of information being dangled infront of you so as to keep you interested but not give everything away.
