Actually His Dark Materials is a book trilogy not a single book but His Dark Materials contains the following books- The Golden Compass ( sometimes called The Northern Lights), The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. The Golden Compass is about young girl in another world where people in that world have animals as souls called daemons. Lyra is given an object called the alethiometer (the golden compass) that can answer any question by the master of Jordan College; where she lives. She assumes she must take it to her uncle, Lord Asriel, and goes on an adventure with her daemon, Pantalaimon, to take him the alethiometer. In the Subtle Knife, a young boy named Will searches for his long lost father and finds a doorway to another world where he meets Lyra who comes to this world by a bridge made in another world by her father, Lord Asriel and is searching for a particle called Dust that people believe is original sin (this is revealed in book 1). The alethiometer tells Lyra that she must help Will find his father and she joins forces with him and later on in the book they find an object called the subtle knife that has the power to cut through worlds and they use the knife to find his father. In the Amber Spyglass Will goes looking for Lyra who goes missing in book 2. Dr. Malone, a scientist who helps Lyra in book 2 to find the particle Dust, finds the doorway left open by Will in book 2 goes into the city of Citagazee (where Will first met Lyra) then finds another unclosed doorway and goes into a world where elephantine creatures roam the land. She adapts to the community of creatures and mistakenly creates a telescope that can see Dust( The Amber Spyglass) and uses it to find Dust.
