Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (reviewed by Lauren TenCate)

Artemis Fowl is perhaps one of my favorite books. In it, 12 year old boy genius and master mind Artemis Fowl plans to restore his family fortune by kidnapping a fairy and holding them for ransom. Oddly enough, Artemis succeeds in his plan but the fairies are smart too. They get a kleptomaniac tunnel dwarf named Mulch to break into Fowl Manor (where Artemis lives) and steal the fairy out. Unfortunately, Holly (the fairy who was kidnapped) can’t leave because she is under orders not to. (and if a fairy breaks orders they lose their magic.) It’s a very interesting book and it’s funny too. I thought it was a great book, if a little outlandish.

Thanks Lauren, for that review of an old favorite. Don't forget, you can write reviews of 'older' books you REALLY LOVED too.
