Do you love action movies with twisty plots? Are you into fantasy and gaming? Then "Artemis Fowl" might be the book for you. Twelve-year-old Artemis is a super genius. But is he also a super villain? You'll have to read to find out. As a teacher, I enjoyed the rich examples of figurative language Colfer sprinkled throughout this novel. Fantasy is not my genre of choice and there were a lot of plot twists and technical vocabulary words to learn, but I think my students enjoyed it.
