I am reading the Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman. You probably read in my last blog the origin of most of the charactars. I read for two and a half hours this week. The part I read was just getting to know Lyra. She is a wild girl who plays all around at the college she lives at. She climbs on the roofs, plays underground, and has wars with other kids. She plays a lot. She has wars with the kids called gyptians. They just do a ton of stuff to each other. Kids start disappearing and people are wondering why they are being taken. They call the people taking them gobblers. I dont know why they are taking them but they are. A lady called Mrs. Coulter was lured this boy in by asking him if he wanted chocolate. He followed and he ended up with a big group of children. Then when Lyra is eating dinner with the scholars Mrs. Coulter is there. Lyra doesnt know that she is the gobbler but just thinks she is the best person in the world. In the morning the guy called the master says Lyra is going to be Mrs. Coulter's assistant and she is going to go with her. Lyra is really excited to go. Mrs Coulter's house is the most perfect house, and she says that she will take Lyra on a trip to the north.
