After finishing the 4th Harry Potter book I moped around for a few days lamenting the fact that the next installment isn't due for publication for quite some time. Luckily, a friend of mine suggested the Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman. Five pages in to The Golden Compass I was hooked. With a "Potter like" fervor I ripped through the first book in two very long nights. After which I was useless at work, but just as satisfied as when I first discovered the work of J.K. Rowlings. A great read!
A note to parents: The world that Pullman conjurs is a bit darker than Harry Potter's. There is more violence and some very frightening situations. I'd say 11 and up would be a good age for these books.

This trilogy follows the adventures of Lyra Belacqua, an orphan child living in Oxford, England. Lyra embarks on a mission between different worlds in to uncover the truth about the mysterious Dust. The books abound with a host of villains, mysterious figures and heart warming characters. I highly recommend this trilogy to young and old alike.

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I truly recommend this book to evry one!!!!!
