The Amber Spyglass by Phillip Pullman

"Oh Roger where are you, what is this place?" she said "It's the world of the dead Lyra" Lyra is missing and Will can't find her to help her escape, the witches have been attacked and a mothers hug is in another universe, who will help a boy too far from home? This book goes from universe to universe and at one point the land of the dead, through each portal is another place to explore. In this book the setting is described in acute detail, every place comes to life around you. Lyra and Will are the main charcters in this amazing book. Will, the boy from this world who accidently escapes through a portal into another world in the last book and inherits the 'Subtle Knife'. Lyra is the feirce, wild-cat girl who learns to read the alethiometer which posses the truth. The book does not have an exact time but is a time of it's own. The time is three hundred years after Dust started falling, the sublt knife was made as well as the alethiometer. From helping Lyra escape from Mrs Coulter to going to the land of the dead the plot is quite complicated with lots of twists and turns. Whenyou read the book you can escape to the wonderous world of the Amber Spyglass. This book is amazing and I recommned it to everyone over 10. The book let's you escape from modern day to all of these universes. If you have a good imagination and lots of hot chocolate read this book! Reviewed by Matilda
