Book Description

Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius-and, above all, a criminal mastermind. But even Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories; these fairies are armed and dangerous.

Artemis thinks he has them right where he wants them...but then they stop playing by the rules. I... More

This is the first in the series (now up to Book 7, I think, which I must buy!). 12 year old Artemis Fowl, criminal mastermind and boy genius, plans to kidnap a fairy and hold it to ransom for tons of fairy gold. Much mayhem ensues! Artemis is a bit of an anti-hero at first, but you warm to him! ... more

Colfer, E. (2001). Artemis Fowl. New York: Hyperion Paperbacks for Children. Artemis Fowl is not only to tale of the ingenious and villainous Artemis Fowl, but also the Story of Captain Holly Short, the first female to protect the magical people by joining LEPrechaun force. Artemis, whose mother is unwell since his father was lost in the Arctic, searches with his friend and protector, Butler, to restore the Fowl fortune. This leads Artemis into trouble with the magical world when he takes Holly hostage. From there Artemis must match wits with LEP’s best agents and one of the magical community’s sneakiest criminals. The book allows students to question their own cultural norms, as humans are called Mud People and their (our) practices are called into question. The story includes subtle environmental messages. It also blurs the lines between genres, as it includes both sci-fi and fantasy elements. But most of all, this is a fun series for the young action-adventure lover to become addicted to. Plus, Artemis is a Mac user, the clever boy. Activities to do with the book: This is a book is a great adventure story to help to get students immersed in a story. It lends itself to role-play since students can have fun being a villainous and powerful child genius. Since some complain that the Artemis Fowl books are hard to visualize, students could create their own illustrations to help with this or create their own adventures for some of the supporting characters. Favorite Quotes: “How does one describe Artemis Fowl? Various psychiatrists have tried and failed. The main problem is Artemis’s own intelligence. He babboozles every test thrown at him. He has puzzled the greatest medical minds, and sent many of them gibbering to their own hospitals” (p. 1). “The Mud People destroyed everything they came into contact with. Of course they didn’t live in the mud anymore. Not in this country, at least. Oh no. Big fancy dwellings with room for everything—rooms for sleeping, rooms for eating, even a room to go to the toilet! Indoors! Holly shuddered. Imagine going to the toilet inside your own house. Disgusting!” (p. 50). “Mummlp,” said her treacherous lips. No good. Incomprehensible even by a drunken gnome’s standards” (p. 97). For more of my reviews, visit sjkessel.blogspot.com.

I was a little unsure of these books a first because the main character was also the "bad guy". But by the end of book one, I was completely caught up in the stories - great premise, funny characters I often take it to schools with me to encourage reluctant readers. Recommend the first 4 books of ... more
