Philip Pullman Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Philip Pullman’s book, The Northern Lights has won the Carnegie of Carnegies. Yeah!!!! I love that guy, but I think that The Amber Spyglass is better …. This has helped Philip Pullman be more famous, as the apparently, even the losers who didn’t know about him do know now. We’re having a book fair by Scholastic in the school and mainly Philip Pullman books are up for sale. They are even having a completion about him. It has 5 questions:

1) Name the 3 books of His Dark Materials trilogy

2) Who was the king of the bears?

3) What is the name of the movie coming out in December?

4) For which book has Philip won the Carnegie of Carnegies?

5) What are the northern lights and where are they likely to occur?

My library teacher asked me to give it so I did. All answers were right!!! But I don’t think I have a chance of winning as even those people who hadn’t read the books went over to the shelves where they were selling and quietly looked up the answers.

Why didn’t I think of that???

There’s going to be a lucky draw or something to select the winner out of the correct entries. The winner will get a mini digicam. Even though it sounds nice, the picture of the digicam showed something like an irritating keychain.

Philip Pullman is an amazing writer and his books are amazingly addictive. But I don’t like the Sally Lockhart series as much as His Dark Materials. The idea is awesome and I love the characters. They surprisingly have the most unusual qualities. Lyra is big liar and tomboyish. Will loves to be inconspicuous and is subtle. Still, everyone loves the characters. I love the ending of the trilogy, even though it gets too passionate than you’d imagine it would be for 14 yr olds. I like HDM best after LOTR (lord of the rings, for the idiots who don’t know, even after the movies). And the best thing of all, the movie on the first book, The Golden Compass is releasing on my birthday, The 7th of December!!! I already know what I’ll be doing on my birthday…
