Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (post by Pen, age 13)



Artemis Fowl is a captivating, enchanting tale. Eoin Colfer makes the perfect blend of technology, magic, wit, and strangely endearing characters, despite their strong personalities. I'd recommend this book for anyone from age 9 to 13-years old.

Artemis Fowl is a genius. Even from a young age, he showed intellectual superiority. Now, at age twelve, Artemis's extreme IQ surpasses everyone's in Europe. He is unique. But, unfortunately for the rest of the world, he is not on their side. He prefers to use his brain for criminal exploits. Artemis is also determined. Nothing can stop him from achieving what he's decided to apply his efforts to. So when Artemis decides that he wants to find a fairy and steal their gold, he is confident that his plan will go without a hitch, or else. And his accomplice, Butler, is going to do everything he can to help, which is a considerable amount of things. Butler is a giant. Figuratively. He is well over six feet, and more than 200 pounds of rock-hard muscle. And he is merciless. But Artemis must find the Faerie Book first. It's a sort of Bible, very sacred and well-protected. Artemis is forced to questionable resources to locate the Book. Artemis, who prides himself on having approximately no feelings whatsoever, proves to be so, and emerges victorious. So far, the plan is foolproof. But will Artemis's feelings survive a kidnapping, an unexpected attack, some extremely violent waste, and numerous perilously close attempts to endanger his plan?Will Artemis be able to outwit the enemy in time to attain the gold, or will he be defeated for the first time?

To find out more, pick up this book at your local library or bookstore. Fortunately, this book is only one of a suspenseful series, so those thirsting for more will be satisfied. Good luck and happy reading
