[LM_NET] TARGET: Golden Compass

[Caitlin Hooker <caitlin.hooker@SGS-AUSTIN.ORG>]

Thanks to the publicity of the upcoming movie, I am now facing a book
challenge of Phillip Pullman's Golden Compass.  Has anyone else had to
defend this book?  I thought it was wonderful, and any anti-Christian
themes are way above the kids who are reading the book, but none the
less, I need some ammunition to help fight this.  I am in a K-8 Catholic
school and just finished a successful book challenge of Harry Potter by
the same parent!  Thanks for your input.
