The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman

The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman

What Lila wants to be more than anything else in the world is . . There is also one special secret: every Firework-Maker must make a perilous journey to face the terrifying Fire-Fiend! Her friends, Chulak and Hamlet - the King's white elephant - race after her.

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 *
