This is a reread! I don't remember much about the book during my first read, seeing as I was a little kid when I read it the first time. 

Lyra's a very charming child. The story and the characters are magical, especially the bears 😁 I love how much this is truly a children's book and she has so much agency. Children and bears save the world. Wooo!
