BBC Top 100 Books - Book 3 (part 1)

This book is set in a world very similar to our, however the world is very different to ours. The story revolves around the adventures of a girl called Lyra and her travels through this steampunk dystopia from Cambridge to London, and on to the Fens, and eventually to the Arctic.

This is the second time I have read this book, and it is a good as I remember, I can't wait to read the next two books in this series again.
