But the arrival of her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, draws her to the heart of a terrible struggle--a struggle born of Gobblers and stolen children, and a mysterious substance known as Dust. As she hurtles toward danger in the cold far North, Lyra never suspects the shocking truth: she alone is destined to win--or to lose--this more-than-mortal battle. <p/> The stunning full-color art offers both new and returning readers a chance to experience the story of Lyra, an ordinary girl with an extraordinary role to play in the fates of multiple worlds, in an entirely new way. <p/> "Superb . . . all-stops-out thrilling."<i> --The Washington Post<br></i><br><b>Don't miss Philip Pullman's epic new trilogy set in the world of His Dark Materials!</b><br><b>** THE BOOK OF DUST **</b><br><b><i>La Belle Sauvage</i></b><br><b><i>The Secret Commonwealth</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The story's signature fantasies--the daemons; the armored mercenary polar bears; and the alethiometer--are realized with compelling force (and, in the case of the daemons, humor). [This] retelling will bring Pullman's work new fans and give previous readers new pleasure. -- <i>Publishers Weekly, </i> Starred review <p/>The small and detailed but very clear panels are full of expressive faces, discernible action, and moody shadowing.
