1.		Once Upon a Time in the North from David Fickling Books Price: £6.49 Customer Review: This prequel is the story of how Lee Scoresby met Iorek Byrnison (characters in the His Dark Materials trilogy, and if you haven't read that, better to start there than here). It might fairly be classed as a ripping yarn. It's a tale well told, charmingly illustrated with engravings by John... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		His Dark Materials Boxed set (His Dark Materials) from Scholastic Price: £10.95 Customer Review: "Northern Lights" is a fantastic novel by Philip Pullman. It is the first book in a trilogy called "His Dark Materials". This book, is about a girl called Lyra, who lives in a universe like ours, but very different in lots of things.

4.		Subtle Knife, The (Golden Compass) (His Dark Materials) (His Dark Materials) from Scholastic Price: £4.07 Customer Review: Having watched the film "The Golden Compass" I bought and read the first book ("His Dark Materials") which I found very enjoyable.

5.		The Ruby in the Smoke (Sally Lockhart) from Scholastic Price: £4.54 Customer Review: In The Ruby in the Smoke, Phillip Pullman combines three of my favorite things: young adult fiction, a good mystery and a Victorian era setting.

6.		The Firework-maker's Daughter from Corgi Yearling Books Price: £4.99 Customer Review: I bought this Pullman book thinking it might be suitable for my 10 yr old daughter. She is doing a project on China so I thought it might bring in an interesting aspect on Chinese culture, as the main character is a Chinese girl called Lila.- Not only did the prose not live up to it's review status,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Tin Princess (Sally Lockhart Quartet) (Sally Lockhart Quartet) (Sally Lockhart) from Scholastic Price: £3.49 Customer Review: This is not the genre of books that I usually read but I was hooked from the first page. The quality of Phillip Pullman's writing meant that I was instantly transported to firstly Victorian London, then Razkavia, a country that I almost feel patriotic about. I now look forward to reading... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Shadow in the North from Scholastic Price: £5.24 Customer Review: This is the second in Pullman's Sally Lockhart trilogy, the sequel to The Ruby in the Smoke. I made the mistake of reading this one first; each of the books contains big spoilers for the previous one, so I strongly recommend they are read in order. This is another absolute masterpiece from... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The Tiger in the Well (Sally Lockhart Quartet) (Sally Lockhart Quartet) (Sally Lockhart) from Scholastic Price: £5.24 Customer Review: Be prepared for one of the most exciting page-turning reads you'll ever encounter. This book will grip you from the first page and not let you go until the end. It's the longest of the four Sally Lockhart books, but you won't notice the length as the plot just keeps going and thickening all the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Brisingr (Inheritance Cycle) from Doubleday Price: £8.49 Customer Review: This will satisfy fans of the series but there isn't really any story progression - paolini dwells more on character development and past events before eragorn was born. Although this extra background information helps add to the story and readers find out more about lesser characters, I couldn't... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
