Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

5.0

This book was fun to revisit. I had forgotten about so many of the characters, from Holly herself, to Valentine and Foaly. The plot is appropriate for a junior fiction novel, but the characters add a lot of depth and interest to the book. Holly is a really cool elvish character who is the first woman in the elite fairy recon unit (the LEPrecons (hah)), Artemis is a genius boy who appears like any cold-hearted criminal mastermind, but also shows care for his family and the closet things he has for friends, as well as Holly herself. If you know a junior who needs really cool characters to get into reading, try them on this book, as there is somebody for everybody kid to root for.
