The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman, tells the story of Lyra Belacqua and her journey to find the truth. When Lyra begins to suspect that some of her friends have been kidnapped, she begins her trek North to find the missing children. What Lyra discovers is an orchestrated plan to separate children from their daemons . Throughout Lyra's adventure, she meets armored bears, witches, and eventually finds the missing children.
If I were to use this book in the classroom, I would use it to further a lesson on science fiction literature. I would have the class create their own fantasy stories and share with the class.
