Den skarpa eggen är del två i trilogin Den mörka materien. Boken utspelas tre olika världar och som läsare gäller det att hålla fokus i vändningarna. En riktig bladvändare med äventyr utöver det vanliga, magiska varelser, onda och goda ... välförtjänt pristagare i Whitbread book of the year award 2001. Några år senare håller boken ännu måttet.
