Artemis Fowl

Artemis Fowl is by Eoin Colfer. The first in the series makes you hunger for the rest. Artemis is a 12-year-old evil genius. The son of a famous crime family stretching back generations. However now that his father is missing, presumed dead, and his mother is bedridden in her grief the family needs cash. Artemis decides the best way to find his pot of gold (literally) is to kidnap a leprechaun and hold her for ransom. The resulting mayhem is delightful! A thoroughly enjoyable read. You can't dislike Artemis no matter how hard you try.

Ratings: 6th grade - 10 out of 10.
