| Artemis Fowl is a brilliant criminal mastermind, and only twelve years old! | | After the disappearance of his father, twelve-year-old Artemis takes over as head of the family business. He forms a wicked plan to kidnap a fairy, one of the 'People', and demand a ransom. But the fairies stop playing by the rules and the tables are turned. | | This is an absolutely brilliant book: clever, original and funny. There's a sequel on the way and I hope he will write many more about Artemis and the 'People'. I particularly liked Mulch Diggums the kleptomaniac dwarf and his unusual method of housebreaking. Anyone who likes a laugh and books about magic will love this, but don't be misled by those who say it's like Harry Potter, it's very different - but just as good! Read this book - it needs no comparisons. | | Easy to read for an independent reader and suitable for everyone. Boys will like Artemis the anti-hero and characters like Mulch Diggums, and for girls there's Holly Short the Leprecon captain.
Shortlisted for the 2001 Whitbread Children's Book of the Year. | | Other books by Eoin Colfer include Artemis Fowl The Eternity Code, Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident. | | This review by Mrs Mad. | | Twelve-year-old villain, Artemis Fowl, is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. His bold and daring plan is to hold a leprechaun to ransom. But he's taking on more than he bargained for when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Unit). For a start, leprechaun technology is more advanced than our own. Add to that the fact that Holly is a true heroine and that her senior officer Commander Root will stop at nothing to get her back and you've got the mother of all sieges brewing! If you had to describe this book in one sentence, then it would have to be: Artemis Fowl - Die Hard with fairies. | Andrew Dwyer, St. Marys Hamilton
