AnEntertainment WeeklyAll-Time Greatest Novel ANewsweekTop 100 Book of All Time Philip Pullman takes readers to a world where humans have animal familiars and where parallel universes are within reach. Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will--a boy on the run, a murderer--a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels. Each is searching--Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father--but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together...until they are split apart.
