After being held prisoner for years, Artemis Fowl's father has finally come home. He is a new man - an honest man, much to Artemis's horror. He makes his son promise to give up his life of crime, and Artemis has to go along with it. But not until he has completed one last scheme.
Artemis uses stolen fairy technology to create a powerful microcomputer and it is snatched by a dangerous American businessman, Artemis, Juliet, Mulch, and the fairies join forces to try to retrieve it.
I've been really enjoying these books. They're a blend of magic meets technology and Mission Impossible meets fairy folklore. I like the development Artemis's character is making and am looking forward to the next in the series.
the artemis foul series is a great series for people who like harry potter. it's a much quicker read. great for reading out loud or together with your child.
