Product Details
The
Artemis Fowl series of books consists of eight volumes, the eighth book's having a release date of July 10, 2012. There are negotiations to make the first volume into a motion picture.
The books are fantasy, presenting a world made of humans, fairies, and demons. The story in this fifth book of the series is introduced on the dust jacket:
"Thousands of years ago, fairies and humans fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear that they could not win, all of the fairies moved below ground—except for the 8th Family, the demons. Rather than surrender, they used a magical time spell to take their colony out of time and into Limbo. There they have lived for decades, preparing to exact their violent revenge on humans.
"Now the time spell is unraveling, and demons are beginning to materialize without warning on Earth. If humans were to find out about them, all fairies would be exposed. To protect themselves, the fairies must predict when the next demon will materialize. But in order to do so, they will have to decipher temporal equations so complicated, even a great brain like Foaly can't understand them. But he knows someone who can: Artemis Fowl.
"So when a very confused demon imp appears in a Sicilian theater, Artemis is there to meet him. But he is not alone. There is someone else who has unlocked the secrets of the fairy world and managed to solve complex mathematical problems as only a genius could. And she is just twelve years old...."
To engage the reader, there is a secret message from the schools of the Lost Colony written at the bottom of the pages. Can you crack the code?
