His Dark Materials

“I’m doing a deep dive this summer into this series and I’m loving it! It’s been around a while and so it’s easy to get at the library. I’m listening to it through Libby and then watching the HBO series at the same time!! I’m loving it.”

“World-renowned fantasy series with kids as central protagonists and storytelling worthy of all audiences, exploring themes like free will versus institutional control, the vital pursuit of knowledge over ignorance, and growing up through the lens of experience and self-trust. Great for reading aloud, with lots of opportunities to do cool voices — animal spirit companions, witches, armored bears…and that’s just the first few chapters!”
