THE AMBER SPYGLASS by Philip Pullman

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Check the catalog for this item.

The last of Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. Award winning. Great action/adventure story of a young girl growing up. But parents might want to consider the dark cosmology and theology that runs through this series. This cosmology/theology may be disturbing for younger readers.

THE SUBTLE KNIFE by Philip Pullman

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Check the catalog for this item.

This is the second book in Mr. Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, continuing the action (and there’s lots of action) from The Golden Compass. (And- The Golden Compass is now a new movie). All of the books in this trilogy have won prestigious awards. But parents may want to consider that some scenes include children in serious danger. There is also a rather dark cosmology and theology that runs through all three books, becoming ever darker in the later volumes.
