by Eoin Colfer

 

This is the fifth book in the series.

 

Ten millennia ago, the fairy People were defeated in a great battle with mankind, forcing them to move underground. Only the eighth family of fairies remained undefeated: the demons. But now one demon has discovered the secrets of the fairy world, and if humans get hold of this information the fairies are in BIG trouble. Only one person can prevent this disaster - teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl.

 

For fans of J.R.R.Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, and Philip Pullman, Artemis Fowl is a high-tech fantasy, mixing faries, leprechauns, and computers, in a brilliant, thrilling story that is destined to become a cult favorite.

 

Eoin Colfer's first novel, Benny and Omar, was an instant bestseller in Ireland where he lives, and Artemis Fowl, his first book featuring the brilliant young anti-hero, was an immediate international bestseller.
