Book review The Lost FatherHeroes work together to find a missing father and the secret to Cittagazze Review by Suwitcha Chaiyong Did you Know? Knifeworld Magazine provides information about new, old, military, custom and factory knives. Title: The Subtle Knife
When Will Parry�s father disappears, he and his friend Lyra Belacqua go on a mission to find out what happened. Will and Lyra have to make their way towards Oxford � a place where they assume they will find Will�s missing father. On the way, their enemies and the police obstruct their quest. And the more Will and Lyra look for his father, the closer they are brought to a special knife � an object that mortals, witches, beasts and spirits all seem to be hunting for. Creative yet complicatedThe Subtle Knife is the second book in Philip Pullman�s His Dark Materials trilogy. Lyra was the main character in the first book, Golden Compass. It is remarkable that the author has managed to create an entirely new mythology and combine it with science to create his new world. The main theme, however, remains the same as any other teen-oriented fantasy novel: the battle between good and evil. This book is very creative, but has a complicated plot and multi-layered characters, meaning it may be a bit of a tough read for all but those with the best English skills. This book is definitely worth reading, if you can understand it. Vocabulary specter (n): a ghost
