The Golden Compass

The Golden Compass is about a young girl named Lyra.  The story is set in a world where people's souls exist outside the body and are referred to as daemons.  The story revolves around a rumor about the Gobblers. These Gobblers are believed to be kidnapping children.  These Gobblers end up taking her best friend Roger and ends up going on a quest.  It was a pretty interesting story that reminds me a little bit of the Narnia books.
