Colfer, E. (2007) Artemis Fowl, Penguin Group, England.
Artemis Fowl was written and adapted by Eoin Colfer and Andrew Donkin. The art was created by Giovanni Rigano and the colour by Paolo Lamanna. It is on the Premier's Reading Challenge Year 6-9.
Colfer describes Artemis Fowl on page 1 as being a 12 year old genius who has chosen to dedicate himself to criminal activities. He is definitely a genius! He is definitely a mastermind! He is definitely a criminal! But is he more a villain or a hero?
Artemis is determined to win back his family fortune. With his father missing and his mother mentally ill, Artemis has to rely on his bodyguard, Butler and friend, Juliet to help him on his quest.
Artemis wants to get his hands on fairy gold but in order to do that, he needs to find and decode The Fairy Book to learn how to exploit the weaknesses of the fairies. The Fairy Book helps him to capture an elf named Holly Short, image accessed 5/4/13, who is a Recon Officer with magical fairy powers of healing.
Artemis plans to use Holly as a bargaining chip to get the gold. But before he can, he must fight trolls and angry elves. It seems that fairy magic is essential for this mission. Will he get the gold or is there something more important that he also wants?
There are eight books in the Artemis Fowl series, three of which have been turned into graphic novels - The Artic Incident and The Eternity Code are the other two.
