Artemis Fowl is a 12-year old child genius and criminal mastermind – and he’s just found out that fairies really do exist! It’s a perfect opportunity to get his hands on some fairy gold… But what Artemis doesn’t realize is that fairies aren’t the cute creatures he knows from bedtime stories – they are dangerous! And none more so than the elf he holds hostage – she is a Captain of the fairy police service and Artemis’s world is about to be turned upside down.

Why we choose it
Adventurous, exciting and funny, Artemis Fowl is a thoroughly likeable evil boy genius while the fairies of the LEPrecon have more gadgetry than James Bond.
