Northern Lights [aka The Golden Compass] by Philip Pullman [HIS DARK MATERIALS I]

U.K. TRADE PAPERBACK [1998] POINT FANTASY / SCHOLASTIC U.K. 

Perfect reading copy.  Cover shows some shelf and corner wear.  Pages have tanning.  Tan spot to top of text block.  [see last photo]  -- Reads good as new. 

Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal--including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world.

Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra: a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want--but what Lyra doesn't know is that to help one of them will be to betray the other.   - Bookshop Apocalypse
