This summer I’ve shared some of the books I’ve been reading and I’ve found one more that is definitely worth your time. If you are a lover of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings type stories, you will LOVE the His Dark Materials trilogy.

I am working for a family this summer who are avid readers and have collections of wonderful books. This was a series they recommended to me as a fan of Harry Potter. The series starts with Northern Lights (I think its called The Golden Compass on American bookshelves,) which is actually being made into a movie this Christmas. It would be worth your time to finish the series before the movie, starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig.

Its hard to describe the story without giving away the endings of the three books. I will just say, make it past the first 100 pages and I promise you will be hooked. Its a beautiful philosophical fantasy and I’m sure you’ll love it!
