ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Golden Compass" by Philip Pullman is a fantasy novel set in a world similar to ours, where people have dæmons, which are animal manifestations of their souls. The story follows Lyra, a young orphan, as she gets caught up in a dangerous game involving missing children and a mysterious substance called Dust. Lyra's adventures take her from Oxford to the Arctic, as she confronts powerful forces such as the Magisterium and the Oblation Board. She allies herself with gyptians, witches, and armored bears on her quest to understand the nature of Dust and to rescue the kidnapped children. The story explores themes of science, theology, and magic, and also includes elements of betrayal, love, and loyalty as Lyra discovers her own destiny.
