is an Irish writer of a series of 'kids' books, called 'Artemis Fowl'.


It does have a similar premise to the Harry Potter books, in that we first meet the anti hero, Artemis Fowl aged 12.

This is part of the dust jacket for book one, Artemis Fowl.


'Stay back human, you don't know what you are dealing with.'
Twelve year old Artemis Fowl is a brilliant criminal mastermind.
But even Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit.
These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories. These fairies are armed and they're dangerous. Artemis thinks he's got them just where he wants them, but then they stop playing by the rules...


The books are, in reading order

1. Artemis Fowl
2.The Arctic Incident
3.The Eternity Code
4.The Opal Deception

This writer is well worth reading, and the Artemis Fowl books certainly put a different spin on 'the little people'!
