No offense to you, Encyclopedia Brown, my dear friend. When did this genre get so deep? I don’t remember reading anything this remarkable when I was younger. Quite frequently, I found myself looking at the cover of these books again and again to ensure that I was indeed reading a “children’s” novel. Nuclear Physics, Parallel Worlds, Quantum Particles and Theology snuggle right up against equally introspective looks at Love, Friendship, Loyalty, Family and Honor. The books themselves deal with heavy subjects. His Dark Materials creates a beautiful, vibrant world with characters as deep as if you had known them your whole life. The trailer made the movie look AMAZING, so naturally (as I always do), I thought…”I MUST read this book!”. It wasn’t until I saw the trailer for the upcoming The Golden Compass movie that I was introduced to Lyra’s world. Until recently, this series had somehow flown under my radar.
