Join the world of "Artemis Fowl", the number one bestseller by Eoin Colfer. Rumour has it Artemis Fowl is responsible for every major crime of the new century. Just twelve years old and already he's a criminal genius, plotting to restore his family's fortune with a spot of corruption and kidnapping. Kidnapping a fairy for ransom, to be precise. Artemis Fowl has discovered a world below ground of armed and dangerous - and extremely high-tech - fairies. But he may have underestimated their powers. They will fight back. Is the boy about to trigger a cross-species war? Let the misadventure begin. "Fast-paced, tongue in cheek ...laugh-out-loud". ("Sunday Times"). "A huge hit". ("The Guardian"). "Artemis is a brilliant creation". (Anthony Horowitz). Winner of the WHSmith Children's Book of the Year Award and Children's Book of the Year at the Children's Book Awards.

This book is super amazing! Okay, Artemis is a multimillionare, genious, and he is only 12 years old! When he catches a fairy - and not some cuddly, princess tail fairies - he finds out that faeries are not safe - the hard way. These faeries are terrifying... I enjoyed this book, but it was boring at some places.
This book is about Artemis Fowl, a 12 year-old mastermind. He lives in Fowl Manor with his sick mother, his mother's bodyguard, and Artemis' bodyguard Butler. Artemis later kidnaps a fairy so he could ransom the fairy for fairy gold. It was a great book and the rest of the series is great too.
The Artemis Fowl series is one of the most exciting, page-turning, thrillers I have ever read! You follow the adventures of Artemis and how connects to the fairy underworld and how he becomes a criminal genius at the age of 12.
I am about to read these books and I am too excited. I hope they will be as good as all the other books I've read.
This book was absolutely amazing! I loved how it was serious yet funny, and full of adventures and magic! I've read this book over and over because it's that good!
awesome

I liked the fairies and I also liked how the villain is my age. It is written very nicely.
I( loved this book because its so gripping. Its fascinating to see how a 12 yr old smarty-pants mind work. Strange how hes a crimanal and the technology is amazing. I would really like the technoogy for myself.
