Summary-The Golden Compass

The Golden Compass
By: Philip Pullman

      In "The Golden Compass" the main character, Lyra, has spied on the Master of the Oxford College. Her uncle Lord Asriel was coming to the College and so the Master poisoned his wine before Lord Asriel got to the College. Lyra doesn't know why he did it but there had to be a reason. The next day Lyra learns of a rumor going around many villages talking about how kids have disappeared. No one knows how they have gone missing or where they are going but as the reader you know. A beautiful old lady asks kids if they want chocolatl, which seems to be a kind of hot chocolate. The way she lures kids in is by her monkey daemon. The daemon has a luring technique that attracts other daemons.

Daemon- There is no translation but they are animals friend that follows you around.

Choclatl-Same with this one but like I said it seem s to be a kind of hot chocolate.
