One of those rare books with a confident magic all their own - sheer genius * Independent * Full of hilarious, lovable characters this is a book you will want to read over and over again * The Sunday Times * Pullman knows it is not enough to bargain on the richness of children's minds: successful writing of this kind depends on the creation of imaginative worlds that have enough internal coherence to be not only comprehensible but inhabitable * Independent on Sunday * A wonderfully written adventure story * Guardian * A brilliant book * Derby Evening Telegraph *About the Author
