Artemis Fowl
by Eoin Colfer
Enter the world of this futuristic children’s story (yes, a
series book), Artemis Fowl (The Eternity
Code) by Colfer Eoin. This is the
third book in the series, so I didn’t get to read the lead-in to this one, but
it can be read as an independent story.
In this book, Artemis, a 13-year-old whiz-kid, creates a supercomputer
called the “C cube”, which was created by ‘fairy technology’. Yes, the fairies
are a society that interacts with Earth people, but only when necessary. Artemis meets with the evil billionaire, Jon
Spiro, to steal this new technology, but Spiro has other ideas. He steals the C
cube from Artemis, and, in the process, almost kills Artemis’ body guard,
Butler. Artemis thinks fast by freezing
Butler before he dies and works with a local company to bring him back to life with
the help of the fairies! The rest of the
story involves Artemis and his companions taking back the cube before Spiro
uses the technology to ruin the world.
Who will win? With the help of
the fairies and re-born Butler and some double-dealing Spiro workers, it is a
match to end all fights. A fun
read. I can imagine this being a great
read for young teens. Go Artemis!
