Summary
Eoin Colfer: Artemis Fowl
A novel about the adventures of today's youngest criminal mastermind, an extremely intelligent twelve-year-old boy, who, with the help of his faithful servants, Butler and Juliette, decided to continue the family tradition of dealing in crime. Lucidly following numerous hard-to-see clues, he discovers that the fairy world really exists, gets hold of a book of spells and decides to kidnap a real fairy, in order to get a rich ransom for it. He succeeds in his intentions, but the fairy he kidnapped is not "ordinary", but a member of a special fairy police unit... Thus, a criminal and adventure plot is created around the central character of the boy, set in a fantastic environment of the fairy world, modernized with futuristic technologies.
