In case you haven't heard of 'Northern Lights' here is a description :
"Lyra and her animal daemon live half-wild and carefree among the scholars of Jordan College, Oxford. But the destiny that has awaited her since birth takes her on a dangerous journey to the frozen North in search of a kidnapped friend. It is a journey that will have immeasurable consequences far beyond her own world......"
In 2007 it was made into a film starring Nicole Kidman, 'The Golden Compass'.

"Mad student braves the A9 to Wick to seek out friend not seen since closing time at the students union bar last Thursday!" :D;)
