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. It is shortlisted for the Whitbread Children's Book of the Year Award. Eoin Colfer was born and raised in Wexford in the south-east of Ireland. He began writing plays at an early age and, as an adult, continued to write. "Artemis Fowl", his first book featuring the brilliant young anti-hero, was an immediate international bestseller and won several prestigious awards.

I’ve read books 1-6 and they are amazing! They’re so good I’m going to read them again before reading book 7&8.
Great book, BTW
This intro makes me want to read it sooo bad!
This book is amazing! :)
Artemis fowl is a twelve-year-old genius he is also a millionaire and a criminal mastermind (which is awesome! Not the criminal part the millionaire part haha). But even a genius like Artemis doesn't know what to do when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short who just so happens to be a fairy of the LEPrecon unit.. These aren't your run of the mill faries like tinker bell these varies can be dangerous!! Good book, recommended for 6-8 graders. Thanks for reading -Ajg15's Reviews
I love your book and movie reviews @ajg15!
Artemis fowl/////ok so book is about Artemis fowl (the boy) and he is a millionaire and only 12 !(and a criminal mastermind l😂😂😂) I didn't enjoy this because it was wayyyy to confusing💩 I recommend to ages 15 and up and sadly I rate it 1 star 🌟😢😂
Artemis Fowl is a wonderful book about a boy genius who is only 12-years old! And he is trying to regain his family fortune! I highly recommend this series!
Artemis Fowl is a wonderful book about fairies and Artemis a 13 year old mastermind who has the knowledge of more than an entire state combined. Artemis is the antagonist of the book and is trying to capture fairies because they have gold. I have absolutely loved this book I can't wait to read the others in the series.
Artemis Fowl is a 12-year-old genius after the fairies' riches. He kidnaps a fairy officer and holds her for ransom, but the fairies retaliate. I, for one, love Eoin Colfers' take on magical creatures. (The fairies, dwarves, and other People have been forced underground by human civilization and pollutants.) The technology imagined in the book was interesting, and decoding the "Gnommish" message along the bottom of the text was fun. A great start to a unique series.
