Artemis Fowl
By Eoin Colfer
Our favorites: Artemis Fowl, The Arctic Incident, The Eternity Code
Perfect for: Kids too jaded to be entertained by old-fashioned fairies and elves.
The hook: Artemis Fowl is no regular kid. He happens to be an evil genius — a criminal mastermind with high-tech toys — and all but 12 years old. Delve into the murky underworld of fairies, elves, and other sprites as they battle Artemis in his relentless quest for the fairyfolk's pot of gold.
