Artemis Fowl is a book about a young Irish boy who is the son of a billionaire. When his father is killed moving a chunk of the family fortune to Russia, Artemis decides to turn to crime to reinstate their status as billionaires. His plan comes in the form of kidnapping a race that has remained hidden for thousands of years - fairies. These aren’t your typical bedtime story fairies.
I really enjoyed this book. Although because it has the word fairies in it and your natural instinct is to think “that’s a girl’s book” that’s not true. It twists your perspective of the word fairies to bring a fun, fast paced book full of adventure.
