Malcolm also spends a good amount of his time running errands for the nuns directly across the river. This person, who we can think of as kind of a spy, asks Malcolm to keep his eyes and ears open and report anything of interest to her – in other words, she enlists him as a spy. So one day, Malcolm comes across a strange message in an acorn and eventually discovers the person for whom the message was intended. Alexander that enlists children to spy on their parents and teachers begins to take hold in the school, and as it becomes stronger, teachers begin to disappear along with some students’ parents.
A creepy Hitler-Youth-like organization called the League of St. Malcolm and his daemon Astra tend to hear all of the local gossip, including scandals and intrigue, including news about the oppressive religious authority which has, as of late, become more powerful and perhaps more deadly. The story follows 11-year-old Malcolm Polstead who helps out at The Trout, the inn that is owned by his parents. Well, in The Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage, Lyra is just a babe. From what I gather, the main character in the His Dark Materials series is Lyra. I do remember that I enjoyed them, however. I read them many years ago and to be truthful, I remember almost nothing about them. It’s actually the prequel to the His Dark Materials series, which included The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. This is the first book in a new trilogy by Philip Pullman.
