This graphic novel adaptation of Philip Pullman’s The Subtle Knife is great for middle to high school age readers. It is not recommended for younger audiences due to subject matter and violence. The illustrations are very well done and the story will keep the reader on the edge of their seat. In this story Will and Lyra jump between different worlds on a hunt for magical Dust. When Will comes into possession of a knife that can cut through anything they have people in multiple dimensions on the hunt for them. It is packed with action and adventure and anyone who enjoyed the novels should read the adaptation.
