Northern Lights by Philip Pullman

Plot

Lyra grows up half wild scampering over the roof tops with her animal daemon pantailimon at Jordan college having wars with the street children and gyptians but Destiny pulls her closer to the North and before long she is on a adventure into the deepest darkest parts of a frozen landscape of ice
