I started reading "The Golden Compass" with an eye to teaching it to my advanced 6th grade student, and the beginning seems a bit complex. Historical/geographical vocabulary such as "Muscovy", "Tartars", "Oxford", and "Lapland" gets mixed up with fantastical terms such as "Dust".
The prep for the initial reading is going to be long, but I hope it will pay off . . .
It's a great read, and if you haven't then you should:)
