Publisher Description
Twelve-year-old Artemis is a millionaire, a genius-and above all, a criminal mastermind. But Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of the bedtime stories-they're dangerous!
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We couldn’t get enough of this odd novel full of fairy fisticuffs and run-ins with dwarves, goblins, trolls, elves, and other fantastic creatures. The first installment in Eoin Colfer’s madcap crime-meets-fantasy series introduces us to 12-year-old antihero Artemis Fowl, the surviving scion of a family known for its shadiness. In the hopes of restoring his hereditary fortune, Artemis plans to plunder fairy reserves by holding an elite elvish cop for ransom. Tarantino-meets-Tolkien antics ensue. Colfer’s devilishly witty banter and wacky genre mash-ups neatly balance the heavy material (a mentally ill mom; a presumed-dead dad) in this smart, delightful YA read.
Customer Reviews
Fun and adventurous story
Definitely a Disney store, it was a fun story. The bad guy was stopped and the good guys got away, except the bad guy is kind of good guy. The fairy world was well developed and smart and the author development of the characters was thorough and interesting. This story is as interesting as Harry Potter without the darkness and worth reading.
AMAZING!!!!
