Philip Pullman's Book The Subtle Knife (Book II of His Dark Materials) is an interesting story. Lyra Silvertongue has passed through into the world of Cittagazze, and comes into contact with Will Parry, a character from our world. Will does not have a Daemon, and so is very strange to Lyra at first, but as the story continues, they become inseparable. Will becomes the main focus of this particular story, after Lyra's emphasis in The Golden Compass. Will and Lyra move about between worlds and they learn about the powers of the Alethiometer and the Subtle Knife. The story moves along at a good pace, and has a nice balance of fun and serious aspects. It will keep you entertained for several hours. All in all, it is a good choice for a fun summer read. And remember, you can borrow this book and many others at the Swift Current Public Library. Disclaimer: This is the second book in this series. Be sure to read the first book, The Golden Compass before you attempt to read this book.
