With all the hallmarks that made the New York Times best-selling Artemis Fowl series so popular, this hilarious spinoff adventure stars Artemis' younger brothers, along with a nefarious nobleman, a shadowy nun, and a fairy intern, and a maverick troll.
One week after their eleventh birthday, the Fowl twins--scientist Myles, and Beckett, the force of nature--are left in the care of house security (NANNI) for a single night. In that time they befriend a troll who has clawed his way through the earth's crust to the surface. Unfortunately for the troll, he is being chased by a nefarious nobleman and an interrogating nun, who both need the magical creature for their own gain, as well as a fairy-in-training who has been assigned to protect him.
The boys and their new troll best friend escape and go on the run. Along the way they get shot at, kidnapped, buried, arrested, threatened, killed (temporarily), and discover that the strongest bond in the world is not the one forged by covalent electrons in adjacent atoms, but the one that exists between a pair of twins.
And don't miss the movie, Artemis Fowl, now streaming on Disney+!

--VOYA
"A definite winner."
--Booklist Online
*"In his eighth, greatest and (billed as) final exploit, Artemis Fowl finally puts an end to archnemesis Opal Koboi while also saving humanity from extinction, but at a steep price. A fitting end to a brilliantly conceived and developed series."
--Kirkus (starred reivew)
Praise for The Arctic Incident
"The world that Colfer creates is as vivid and fantastical as any shire, gotham, or galaxy far, far away in recent memory."
--Entertainment Weekly
Praise for The Atlantis Complex
"Colfer keeps the action moving with laughs and gadgetry. . .A treat for series fans."
--Booklist
Praise for The Eternity Code
* "Agile prose, rapid-fire dialogue and wise-acre humor ensure that readers will burn the midnight oil to the finish."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Praise for The Hangman's Revolution
"Colfer does a great job of making not just main characters Chevie and Riley come alive, but also showing things vividly from the perspective of secondary characters such as Malarkey and the Thundercats. . .Colfer's trademark wit and adventurous plotting are in abundance as well. This is a very fun read. . ."
--VOYA
"Teen FBI agent Chevron Savano . . . must work with her old pal in Victorian London, Riley, the budding illusionist, along with former foe, Otto Malarkey, if she is going to save the day and prevent everybody's future from becoming extremely miserable under the rule of Colonel Box. Colfer does a great job of making not just main characters Chevie and Riley come alive, but also showing things vividly from the perspective of secondary characters such as Malarkey and the Thundercats. . .Colfer's trademark wit and adventurous plotting are in abundance as well. This is a very fun read. . ."
---- VOYA
"Undoing the catastrophically altered present wrought in The Reluctant Assassin (2013) requires further immersion (not just figuratively) in Victorian London's noxious stews for teenage, time-traveling special agent Chevron Savano. Colfer outfits Chevie with a Dickensian supporting cast. It's led by Riley, a street child trained up as an assassin, and larger-than-life crime lord Otto Malarkey, among others. . .Time travel makes the future a fluid reality, but it looks like it may be saved at the end, though some strings remain to be tied up--or further tangled--in upcoming sequels. . .A grand yarn told with a wink and kitted out with high stakes and broadly drawn characters for maximum fun."
---- Kirkus
Praise for The Lost Colony
"Fast-paced, funny, and wholly enjoyable, the book is an action-packed thrill ride."
--VOYA
Praise for The Opal Deception
