I have an actual child (now 11) who has finished
Compass and is reading Subtle_Knife.
He had no problem whatsoever with "daemon", and
figured out quickly that it was unrelated to "demon",
and meant "visible soul". Without reference to a
dictionary, as far as I can tell.
BTW, he far prefers Lemony Snicket's series to
Pullman.
