What I think is disturbing is the lack of recognition of the spirituality in Phillip Pullman's writing that reviewers seem to have. This book is not a testament of atheism. On the contrary. ...             Milkweed (Readers Circle) Jerry Spinelli Laurel Leaf, 2005 Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli This is a great book.
