This book is about
a boy named Artemis Fowl who gets an e-mail from the Russian
Mafia saying that they have his father and want $5,000,000
for him. Artemis is about to go rescue his father when Captain
Holly Short of the LEP Fairy Police captures him. She brings
Artemis and his body guard, Butler, to the Police Plaza to
see if he is the human giving the B'wa Kell Goblin Gang AA
batteries to power illegal soft-nose lasers. Artemis is innocent,
so who is doing this? Goblins, who are about as stupid as
trolls, have built a ship. Some fairy is helping the B'wa
Kell. If he or she is not stopped, all of the fairy and human
world will be conquered by goblins. Will Artemis, Holly, Commander
Root (Holly's boss), and Butler solve this mystery and stop
the person who is helping the goblins? If they do will they
rescue Artemis' father or will they be too late?
I like the adventure
in this book. How many 13 year olds do you know who are willing
go out of their manor to stop goblins from conquering the
fairy world? If you are looking for a book where the hero
isn't always good, then you’ll enjoy Artemis, a criminal
mastermind, a hero, yes, perfect, no!
For better enjoyment
of this book, I suggest you read the first book in this series,
Artemis Fowl. You also
enjoy will enjoy the third book in the series called Artemis
Fowl and the Eternity Code.

This book is
about a boy named Artemis Fowl who knows about fairies and
where they live. They capture Artemis and his bodyguard Butler
and force them to help them. He makes an agreement with them
first that they will help him find his father. Artemis helps
the fairies by looking for a human who is giving out batteries

Artemis
Fowl is a criminal mastermind. A 13-year-old one! This is
the second book in the series. Artemis needs to restore his
family's wealth, but the Russian Mafia has kidnapped his father.
Artemis needs to save him. Down near the earth's core live
the fairies who are enemies of Artemis because he stole some
of their gold, and gold is very important to fairies. The
fairy world is being taken over by a military official named
Cudgeon, so the fairies need help too. Artemis joins forces
with the fairies to help them stop Cudgeon and the B'wa Kell,
(a group of bad goblins) and the fairies help Artemis to try
to save his father. Will Mr. Fowl be saved? Will Cudgeon and
the B'wa Kell be stopped? Read this awesome book to find out!

Artemis
Fowl is a 13-year-old criminal mastermind. He is away at boarding
school when he receives an urgent video e-mail from
Russia . It is a plea from a man who has been kidnapped by
the Russian Mafia - a man Artemis had never thought he would
ever see again - his father. As Artemis tries to save him,
he is stopped by a familiar nemesis, Captain Holly Short from
the LEPrecon, the Fairy Police. But this time, they will have
to join forces if Artemis is going to save one of the only
people in the world he truly loves.
I really loved this book because I enjoy action, adventure,
and magic. I highly recommend it and give it an 11 on a scale
from one to ten. Artemis Fowl - The Arctic Incident
is the second of three books in a series. I recommend
reading the first one, called Artemis
Fowl, before this one.

Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident is about a billionaire
boy genius. The whole plot of the book is Artemis finding
his father. He joins up with the fairies including:
Holly, Commander Root, and Foally. In the book they
go to Russia to fight the Russian mafia. The Russian
mafia are the people who are keeping Artemis' dad.
This is a
great book. I started it and I couldn't put it down.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. If you
like Adventure and fantasy you will love this book.
Between the first one and this
one, this one is my favorite.
