Artemis+Fowl

Artemis Fowl Three cups of adventure. Two tablespoons of excitement. A heavy sprinkling of fantasy. And finally, just a pinch of intrigue. Mix it all together, garnish with a sparkly cover, and what do you get? //Artemis Fowl//. Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl lives in a strange and action-packed world. Orphaned early in life, he is heir to a tremendously large fortune, as well as to a mysterious and enchanting family legacy. For the Fowl family have been criminal masterminds since the beginning of time, and it is Artemis’ job to uphold this legacy and the family honor. Engraved upon the Fowl family crest are the words //Aurum Potestas Est,// which means //Gold is Power// in Latin. From this motto, Artemis takes much if not all of his direction in life. However, acquiring all of this wealth comes at a great cost for Artemis. He is constantly getting himself into harrowing situations, situations that endanger his own life as well as those closest to him. Along for the ride are his trusty bodyguard, Butler, tough-cookie elf Holly Short, and numerous other human and non-human characters.
