Summary:
Artemis' main goal in life is to restock his family's wealth. With his father presumed dead and no money in the bank account, Artemis plans to copy and translate the Fairy Book (the book which has all the secrets of the Faerie World), and then use its information to capture a fairy, ransom him/her, and trick the faerie People out of their gold stash. Can Captain Holly Short, elf fairy police officer with LEPrecon, stop Artemis from succeeding, when she is the one who is held for ransom?

I would recommend this book!

Why?
This is a very, very good book. It is a fast-paced story full of adventure. Those who like the Harry Potter series by Rowling or the Chrestomanci series by Jones must read this series of books about Artemis.

Other suggested reading:
  • The Artic Incident and The Eternity Code, books 2 & 3 in the Artemis Fowl series.
  • Look for these and other titles in our !
