"In 2001, Eoin Colfer published Artemis Fowl, a hilarious and rip-roaring science-fiction/fantasy adventure about a twelve-year-old criminal mastermind who kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. But these aren't the fairies of bedtime stories; these fairies are armed and dangerous. Artemis thinks he has them right where he wants them... until they stop playing by the rules. The novel was an instant sensation and became the start...

Criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl has no memory of the fairy people and his dangerous enemy, Opal Koboi escapes from jail and is planning revenge. While preparing to steal a famous Impressionist painting from a German bank, Artemis Fowl has no idea that Opal Koboi has escaped from jail, leaving only Captain Holly Short of the LEPrechon fairy police to save Artemis before Opal seeks revenge on him. After his last run-in with the fairies, Artemis Fowl's...

Artemis's arch rival Opal Koboi has reanimated dead fairy warriors that take possession of Artemis's little brothers. Artemis has until sunrise to get the spirits to vacate his brothers and go back into the earth where they belong.

An army of fairy space probes have returned to Earth reprogrammed to destroy Atlantis and only Artemis Fowl can stop them. As he races to save the subaquatic city, he must also combat an onslaught of obsessive compulsive and delusional disorders, both byproducts of prodigious intellect and immense stress.

When demons begin appearing on Earth unpredictably, foreshadowing a cataclysmic breakdown of their magic, Artemis and his friends face a n foe--a twelve-year-old girl whose intellect just might match Artemis'sew own--as they try to prevent catastrophe.
