Lyra is a young girl that is taken on an adventure as she starts to develop into a young women. The story of her uncle that goes on an quest in the northern pole leads the story threw an adventure to try and save him and find out where she really came from. It's a coming of age tale that follows similar stories like the Narnia books and Harry Potter, where young people are given the opportunity to play a large roles that most children would never have. It's kind of like the tale of a Spider Man or super hero character. I always like stories like this, because their the factor where you can relate when you were a child growing up, so you have a better understanding what she was going threw and you can relate. Even when you are little it's great to read, because it gives you the story of someone else like you who has become a hero, but I think for young people its something that is an inspiration for them. The added characters like the demons are awesome. They show what a person is feeling and I found it to be a great way to communicate differently how characters were feeling then from other books in this genera. The thing i like most about this genera is they are able to kind pull from the two others scfi and horror. and turn it into there own thing. all in all it was a great read.
