Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception
About the Book
Evil pixie, Opal Koboi, is back and she's more dangerous than ever. This time she doesn't just want power over the fairy People – this time she wants the humans too. Captain Holly Short is the only fairy with a hope of stopping her, but as Holly knows, it takes one genius criminal mastermind to fight another. But the 14-year-old genius that Holly is thinking of doesn't even remember that fairies exist. How is she going to convince Artemis Fowl to help her stop Opal? Gold usually does the trick, and this time is should be no different. Or is Artemis changing?

About the Author
Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl is the first title in the mega-selling series - Described as “Die Hard with fairies”, it was one of the most eagerly awaited children's books ever to be published and the adrenaline-packed novel marks the arrival of the Irish teacher-turned-author as a major force to be reckoned with in the popular fantasy genre.
WHAT OTHER AUTHORS SAY ABOUT EOIN COLFER...
What a writer! A sort of cross between Philip Ridley and Terry Pratchett.
Prue Goodwin, Reading and Language Information Centre, University of Reading
Wildly original… and you thought fairy stories were just for kids.
T2 (The Telegraph) on Artemis Fowl
This is a fantastic, exciting and completely original novel. From fairies with machine guns to trolls on the rampage, this book will capture the imagination of every child who reads it. It will be a massive hit. I for one cannot wait for the sequel…
Jo Edwards, Fiction Buyer, WHSmith on Artemis Fowl
Artemis Fowl is absolutely brilliant. Hardcase leprechauns, elves with attitude, fairies that are anything but and a troll to make Voldermort look like a wuss: the fairytale has been redefined!
