“If I win, I’m a prodigy. If I lose, then I’m crazy.”

So says Artemis Fowl, a twelve-year-old genius with a flair for crime, who attempts to prove the existence of fairies with the intent of acquiring fairy gold. After buying fairy secrets from a drunken, landlocked sprite, Artemis makes plans to abduct a fairy at a secret location in the wilderness of Ireland.

Enter Holly Short, the talented, spunky powerhouse of the Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Force (LEPrecon for short). Holly is ambushed by Artemis and his faithful bodyguard, Butler, at a site of the power-restoring Ritual, sedated, and kept prisoner in the basement of Fowl Manor; Artemis is heir to a vast criminal empire as well as this huge estate. Holly’s commander, Julius Root, and her tech-savvy centaur friend Foaly think they have an easy job rescuing her from a measly human and follow a lead on her whereabouts, but are forced to re-think their plans when Julius is almost killed by an exploding whaling ship!

I enjoyed this book immensely and have read it several times. Eoin Colfer’s writing is peppered with witty sarcasms and tough, smart heroes; the plot line is exciting and surprising; and the genre is an exciting mix of fantasy and technology-packed action that is sure to satisfy any reader. Even better, there are four more books, with a sixth in the making, as well as an upcoming movie. Read this book, and learn why millions of readers adore Artemis Fowl!!

I found the book a little hard to get into at first, but once it got going I couldn’t put it down. I found myself wondering what was going to happen next. I have a newborn and I put myself through a huge lack of sleep by staying up one night to finish it. I highly recommend reading it, and if you find yourself having a hard time after the first 1/4, please continue. You’ll be surprised by where the book takes you.
