If you liked the Wrinkle series (one of my favorites), you would probably like the Golden Compass books. It's a triology by Philip Pullman that takes place in an alternate universe (with some cross-over into our world) where people have "daemons." Daemons are never precisely defined but they seem to be something like an animal manifestation of a person's soul. The kind of animal is fluid during childhood and reflects the daemon's mood state and then around puberty set into an unchangeable form.
The third book is a little lame in its attempts to be an original sin allegory but they're fun reads.
