Northern Lights- Rodgers POV

Rodger, a small skinny boy of 12 years from the great Jordan College of Oxford, longs to be more than the little kitchen boy he is known as. In a close friendship with Lyra Belacqua, an unparented girl who lives amongst the scholars, he spends his time exploring every turret and tower of the famous college, not without a scolding or two from Mrs Lonsdale the housekeeper.

As they reach adolescence, tensions form as Rodger cannot ignore his jealousy over how naïve and oblivious Lyra gets everything handed to her on a plate through life. While she is happy playing in Oxford forever as it appears to Rodger, he is the one that desires to learn as she does and escape his normal yet monotonous lifestyle.

However, everything changes when the word of a mysterious group called the Gobblers spreads around town, and Rodger regrets his previous wishes when he quickly gets swept up in the drama.
