The Golden Compass by Philip Pullmann

 

Pages: 399

"Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal--including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world.

Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra: a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want--but what Lyra doesn't know is that to help one of them will be to betray the other."

I am not sure if this fits in the genre of Science Fiction or Fantasy as elements from both were blended together in this book. I read this when I was younger but re-reading it I pick up on more details. I think this book could be enjoyed by both children and adults, though it is geared towards a younger audience. The audiobook was amazing with the host of great voice actors and the narrator's voice is so soothing I fell asleep listening a few times.
