The Golden Compass (Philip Pullman)

Laura Gardner Longo

“The holy grail of my mother-fucking adolescence. Transcendently good, even all these years later. Questions around faith and obedience that shape my reality to this day. The perfect gift for your precocious niece / nephew / kid. This is my own dog-eared copy that I read when I was ten and then re-read into oblivion.”

Sarah Cooney

“The book that taught me to look deep. This series has had a grip on me since I was eight years old in a way I could scarcely fathom at the time I read the first page.”
