After disappearing for three years, Artemis Fowl has returned to a life different from the one he left. Now he's a big brother, and spends his days teaching his twin siblings the important things in life, such as how to properly summon a waiter at a French restaurant.

But when Artemis Fowl's mother contracts a life-threatening illness, his world is turned upside down. The only hope for a cure lies in the brain fluid of the silky sifaka lemur. Unfortunately, the animal is extinct due to a heartless bargain Artemis himself made as a younger boy.

Though the odds are stacked against him, Artemis is not willing to give up. With the help of his fairy friends, the young genius travels back in time to save the lemur and bring it back to the present. But to do so, Artemis will have to defeat a maniacal poacher, who has set his sights on new prey: Holly Short.

The rules of time travel are far from simple, but to save his mother, Artemis will have to break them all.and outsmart his most cunning adversary yet: Artemis Fowl, age ten.

Eoin Colfer

Eoin Colfer

Most children’s authors dream up heroes—Eoin Colfer created a criminal mastermind. And not just any criminal, but a preteen genius armed with sarcasm, technology, and a pocket full of schemes. Artemis Fowl, the boy antihero who launched a global phenomenon, didn’t arrive in a blaze of prophecy or destiny—he hacked his way into fairyland and rewrote the rulebook.

Colfer was born in Wexford, Ireland, in 1965, a place he once described as “a sleepy town where nothing much happened—except in my imagination.” The son of a schoolteacher and an artist, he grew up in a household where stories and creativity weren’t just encouraged—they were woven into everyday life. He became a teacher himself, but writing was always there, bubbling beneath the surface like one of his underground fairy operations.

It was in 2001 that Artemis Fowl burst onto the shelves, blending espionage, fantasy, and dark humor in a way children’s literature hadn’t quite seen before. With its high-tech gadgets, myth-meets-modernity setting, and morally complex characters, the series appealed to readers who liked their fantasy with a little more bite. Critics sometimes called it “Die Hard with fairies,” but it was more than that—it was Colfer’s distinctly Irish wit, his love for chaos-with-heart, that made the books unforgettable.

Beyond Artemis, Colfer has explored time travel (The Reluctant Assassin), crime capers (Highfire, featuring a vodka-swilling dragon in the Louisiana bayou), and even picked up the torch of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with And Another Thing…, a bold continuation that paid homage to Douglas Adams while carrying Colfer’s signature tone. His books often walk the line between absurdity and sincerity, filled with rogueish charm, inventive tech, and a deep, beating heart under the banter.

Though often labeled a children’s author, Colfer writes with an edge that appeals across generations. His themes—identity, loyalty, power, and redemption—are wrapped in wild plots, but they leave lasting questions in their wake. That’s part of what makes his stories so enduring.

He’s been honored with numerous awards and international acclaim, but perhaps the best summary of his career comes from Colfer himself, who once said, “I will keep writing until people stop laughing. Then I’ll switch genres.” So far, there’s been no need for a change.

Whether he’s crafting laser battles beneath Irish soil or penning heartfelt stories about flawed heroes, Eoin Colfer continues to remind readers that fantasy doesn't have to be solemn to be smart—and that mischief, when wielded well, can be its own kind of magic.
