Have you read The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman? If so, there’s no doubt that you’ll like The Subtle Knife, part two of the series.

In The Subtle Knife, Lyra leaves her world…and ends up in ours. She soon meets Will, the bearer of the Subtle Knife, a knife with two extraordinary edges. One edge can cut through any material, while the other can cut doors to other worlds into the air.

Armed with the Knife an the Alethiometer, Lyra and Will set out on an unclear mission.

This book is a great sequel to it’s predecessor; unfortunately it ends rather abruptly. There are cool tie-ins with the previous book.

I highly recommend the His Dark Materials series, though you should definitely start with the first book (The Golden Compass).
