The Fowl family has fallen on hard times since Artemis's father disappeared. Artemis may only be 12 years old but he is a genius so he has studied hard, done his research, and found that fairies are real and there is gold to be had for one who is clever and daring enough. So he waits and watches and finally makes his move one moonlit night and captures Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit.
My 12yr old ran through this series as he loved it. My oldest did the same thing at the same age. I thought the premise was good but the plot was slow, little character depth overall, and the twists and turns were very predictable. Fun for kids but I found the execution lacking and won't be reading the rest of the series.
