The Amber Spyglass, by Philip Pullman

In the book The Amber Spyglass, by Philip Pullman, the third in His Dark Materials series continues where the second book left off. Lyra and Will, who were once ordinary children, are now again in terrible danger. With the help of the armored bear Iorek Byrnison and two tiny Gallivespian spies, they must travel to a grey-lit world where no living soul has entered. Meanwhile, Dr. Mary Malone built an amber spyglass and an assassin is hunting her down. Lord Asriel with groups of angels arm for a rebellion against a mighty and old foe. With strange allegiances and shocking sacrifices, the war rages and the Dust drains from the sky. And the fate of the living and the dead lies in the hands of two children and the simple truth. I greatly enjoyed this book when I got it, and I was really surprised by the end. I would recommend it to all fans of fantasy of all ages. - Reviewed by Victor, grade 8. .
