Colfer, Eoin. Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony. NY: Hyperion Books for Children, 2006. 385 pages. (Fantasy Series / Humor)
The main characters in this book are Artemis Fowl, the only boy in the world who knows about the fairy civilization; Artemis’s body guard, Butler; Holy Short an x secret fairy cop; and Minerva Paradizo a rich demon hunter. This story takes place in many different places like Barcelona, Spain; underground in a fairy civilization; a demon island called Hybras; and in Southern Sicily. There are so many places in this book because Artemis needs to go anywhere a demon shows up. The main problem in this book, Artemis Fowl, is that the fairy civilization is about to be discovered by someone other than Artemis, and demons are going to start showing up all over the world. To stop this problem Artemis has to literally blow up Minerva Paradizo’s plans to discover the demon and fairy civilizations. Some other interesting events that happen in Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony, are that Artemis travels to the demon world and travels back in time to save a friend, Holy Short. One other interesting event: Artemis goes “missing” for three years!
If I were to give this book a one word label it would be awesome! My one word label would be awesome because this book was fun, exciting, and thrilling. When you start to read this book you just can’t put it down. I would recommend this book to anyone.
