Artemis Fowl Book

Children's Fantasy Books: The Artemis Fowl Series

The plan is to use her as leverage to ransom enough gold from the fairies to restore his family's wealth.

And first on his list of things to do...

... blackmail an alcoholic sprite to obtain her copy of The Book of the People- the Fairy holy book- and decode it.

However, Artemis underestimates the clever wiliness of the fairies and doesn't quite realize what he has gotten himself into when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit.

Nor does he expect that Captain Short's senior officer- Commander Julius Root and the LEPrecon Unit will do whatever it takes to get her back.

These fairies are far from the cutsie little pixies of bedtime stories. They're armed and dangerous, and they most definitely do not play by the rules.

Artemis Fowl is an exciting, fast paced read that will have you laughing out loud. It's fun and witty and perfect for children's and young adult fantasy fans alike.
