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.
