Artemis Fowl

Twelve-year-old villain, Artemis Fowl, is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. His bold and daring plan is to hold a leprechaun to ransom. But he's taking on more than he bargained for when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Unit). For a start, leprechaun technology is more advanced than our own. Add to that the fact that Holly is a true heroine and that her senior officer Commander Root will stop at nothing to get her back and you've got the mother of all sieges brewing!

Someone has been supplying Class A illegal human power sources to the goblins. Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit is sure that her arch-enemy, thirteen-year-old Artemis Fowl, is responsible. But is he? Artemis has his own problems to deal with: his father is being held to ransom and only a miracle will save him. Maybe this time a brilliant plan just won't be enough. Maybe this time Artemis needs help...

Artemis requires the help of the fairy folk once more as he is tricked into handing over the C Cube super computer he has constructed from stolen fairy technology, to Chicago businessman, Jon Spiro. This time Butler's life is at stake so Artemis, Butler's sister Juliet and Holly Short travel to Chicago to steal back the Cube and ensure that Spiro is put out of business - permanently!

Evil pixie, Opal Koboi, is back and she's more dangerous than ever. This time she doesn't just want power over the fairy People - this time she wants the humans too. Captain Holly Short is the only fairy with a hope of stopping her, but as Holly knows, it takes one genius criminal mastermind to fight another.

Gold usually does the trick, and this time is should be no different. Or is Artemis changing?

Book 4 in the Artemis Fowl series.

Until recently Artemis Fowl was the only human to have discovered that fairies do exist. But now a second juvenile genius wants to capture one for scientific study - and not just any old fairy. The newcomer intends to trap a demon, the most human-hating species unknown to man.

Only an ancient time spell separates the demons from mankind - and Artemis must prevent it from unravelling. If he fails, the bloodthirsty tribe will re-launch their quest to wipe humans from the planet...

There can only be one winner in this battle of the demons. And it may not be Artemis Fowl.

Man-eating trolls, armed and dangerous (not to mention high-tech) fairies, flame-throwing goblins - he's seen the lot. He had decided to forego criminal activity of the more magical kind. However...

Now his mother is gravely ill. He must travel back through time to steal the cure from the clutches of the devious mastermind... Artemis Fowl.

That's right. With fairy ally Captain Holly Short by his side, Artemis is going back in time to do battle with his deadliest enemy yet.

Himself.

Book 6 in the Artemis Fowl series.

When he gathers the fairy elite to show off his latest invention, it's clear that the former criminal genius has become delusional and paranoid.

He doesn't even trust his closest friends.

Artemis has the Atlantis Complex, a disease that is causing him to lose his mind. And things get worse when a deadly attack is launched against an underwater fairy city.

The fairies are desperate. So desperate, that they need the ruthless, calculating mind of history's wickedest teenager.

Will the real Artemis Fowl please stand up?

Yes, it's true. Criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl's four-year-old brothers could be involved in destroying the human race. Can Artemis and Captain Holly Short of the Lower Elements Police stop Opal and prevent the end of the world?
