Artemis Fowl is a mysterious and suspenseful book about a boy named Artemis Fowl. Artemis is a boy prodigy who has an urge to prove to the world that fairies live. Artemis finally finds a fairy and captures her. Artemis tells the fairies that if they do not give Artemis gold he will not give back Holly Short, the fairy he captured. This book was a page turner and I never put it down.

This is a story of a twelve-year-old genius whose criminal father disappeared months ago.  Ever since, Artemis has wanted to carry on in his father's place. Being a millionaire, with a bodyguard, he goes city-to-city and finally comes to the place he is looking for and finds a sprite, a magical creature related to fairies. He makes a bargain with the sprite, which allows him to get a copy of the fairy Book.  The Book has all the rules for fairies and creatures related to fairies, critical rules for keeping their magic and powers.

Since Artemis has finally gotten his hands on The Book, he is now finally able to carry out his evil plan to capture a real live fairy as his bargaining chip to real fairy gold! No human has ever gotten possession of real fairy gold before, and Artemis plans to be the first. Since The Book tells where to find a fairy, and everything they must do, Artemis thinks he knows what he is up against. Does he?

"Who is this Artemis Fowl?" humans ask.  This twelve-year-old boy could have caused a crossed species war between the humans and us. 

It all starts when Artemis gets the Book of the People.  He translates it to learn our habits.  "Why does he want to translate the book?  And how does he know fairies exist?" are the next two questions we ask.  Artemis reads about us on the Internet, not really believing we exist.  But when he gets the Book, he knows we exist. He also reads in the Book that we own a lot of gold. The gold will help to restore his family fortune.  Read the book to find out if Artemis' plan is successful.

I really like this book.  It's funny when Butler, Artemis' bodyguard, calls some sailors "babies" and "mommy's boys" which makes them mad and they attack Butler.  It's sad when the troll is sent into Artemis' house and he paralyzes Butler and tries to kill Butler's sister.  And I was really angry when Artemis takes one of the fairies hostage because he wants the fairy to tell him where the gold is when she doesn't even know.
