(3) 4-6 Adapted by Stéphane Melchior. Translated by Annie Eaton. Illustrated by Clément Oubrerie. Coloring by Clément Oubrerie with Philippe Bruno. This French import adapts the first section of the first novel in Pullman's fantasy trilogy, ending with Lyra's departure for the North to search for kidnapped friend Roger. Not much fantastical happens in this installment; still, it capably introduces Lyra and her world (including daemons, the alethiometer, and Dust) and sets up the coming action through accessible dialogue and energetic illustrations in well-paced panels.
Reviewer: Katie Bircher | Horn Book Magazine Issue: July, 1996
