Colfer, Eoin. 2001. ARTEMIS FOWL. New York: Talk Miramax Books. ISBN # 0786817070
Artemis Fowl is all that is left of his family of legendary criminals. He does have his mother but she has been incapacitated by grief at the loss of his father. Artemis is left to carry on with the help of his sidekicks, Butler and his sister Juliet. Artemis is only twelve years old but this does not stop his brilliant mind from plotting to relieve the world of fairies of a large portion of their gold. The fairies live underground away from human knowledge. They do come to the surface but in secret, although a favorite place to be in full view is in Disneyland; here they can blend right in. Artemis has come up with an intricate plan to kidnap a fairy and hold her for ransom. Unfortunately he gets himself in quite deep when his hostage ends up being Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon police. This is a tale of a fierce battle between Artemis and the fairies, goblins, leprechauns, and dwarfs. This story is reminiscent of tales of the past but is full of fantasy and the latest technology. There is a great deal of action and adventure which will entertain fans of fantasy and folklore alike.
