 This book is the first in the series and has gone on to be a best-seller. It’s all about Artemis Fowl, a 12 year old genius. His father is also a genius, but a criminal genius, and has been missing for over a year, assumed dead. Perhaps his death has affected Artemis, as now he is following in his fathers shady footsteps; always wanting more and more money to add to the Fowl fortune. It is on the internet that Artemis discovers dodgy sites…ones about creatures supposed to have never existed. Artemis believes that there are fairies that live underground…and he also believes in their large hostage fund. So Artemis sets out to capture a fairy, and one night he succeeds. This is where Captain Holly Short of the Lower Elements Police enters the picture. They take Holly hostage and soon the fairies find out…but these aren’t the fairies of bedtime stories. They’re supremely intelligent, their technology is far more advanced than our own, and they don’t take humiliation lightly. They won’t pay the gold Artemis demands for Holly’s safe return. They have more dangerous ideas…ideas that spare no thought for Artemis’s life.
