The Firework-Maker’s Daughter

by Philip Pullman

Lila dreams of becoming a Firework Maker—not just following in her father’s footsteps, but mastering the craft herself. She’s already come far, but one final, perilous test remains. The problem? Her father refuses to tell her what it is.

Determined to discover the truth, Lila sets out on a daring solo quest. Along the way, she faces dangers more extraordinary than she ever expected—and uncovers far more than just the secret she was looking for.
