Lyra and her daemon moved through the darkening hall, taking care to keep to one side, out of the sight of the kitchen.Lyra lives a carefree life until she begins to notice that children are disappearing including her friend, Roger. She decides to solve the mystery with help from her daemon. A mysterious woman comes to dinner and Lyra is sent to live with her bringing with the golden compass. Soon, Lyra begins to unravel the mystery and runs off. Themes of religion, freedom, love, human nature and choice are found throughout the book.
It was difficult to summarize this book because there were many characters and themes to narrow down to a few sentences. I didn't find the religious references to be offensive but than I wouldn't because it is a FICTION BOOK!
