I went into this thinking it was going to be a three-star read, but I forgot about the awesome storytelling powers of Phillip Pullman. This book is definitely aimed at the younger middle-grade demographic, but I really enjoyed the story. I was smiling throughout. This had some darker themes to it, but the whole story made one nice whole and Lord Scarecrow was much more of an endearing character than I thought he would be. (

Umumnya yang menjadi majikan adalah manusia, tetapi dalam buku ini yang terjadi sebaliknya manusia malah menjadi pelayan sebuah boneka jerami.

Reader Graeme Malcolm did a wonderful job bringing this story to life on the CD version. A fun tale for children and adults alike. (

Oh my gosh, I love Pullman's work but this was brilliant. It was a light-hearted Quijote-like adventure. I listened on CD and had a ball with it. A huge recommendation! (
