Artemis Fowl
By: Torrey M



Artemis Fowl, a 13 year old genius, thought that there was a magical civilization of fairies or sprites underground, so he goes in search of a fairy or sprite to retrieve their book of magic. When he finally finds a sprite who is drunkenly willing to give up her book for more alcohol, the fairy technical genius, Foaly the centaur, finds out that Artemis got the sprites' book of magic. He tells the fairy police chief, Commander Julius Root and soon after almost every fairy in the underground of Europe will find out that Artemis Fowl has exposed their civilization to the human race. Mayhem breaks out and Artemis's life drastically changes.
Accompanying Artemis through the book is Butler, and Butler's sister Juliet who are trained bodyguards who work for the Fowls. This book is told by Artemis's point of view and by a fairy police captain called Holly Short. This is a grabbing story, full of humor, secrets, crime, guilt, and suspense. Once you pick it up you will want to read the whole 5 books of the Artemis Fowl series. I recommend this book and the rest of the series to anyone that would like to read an amazing series of books!
