About this book
In this high-stakes, gadget-packed third Artemis Fowl adventure, the young criminal mastermind builds a supercomputer from stolen fairy tech—and a ruthless businessman steals it back. When his bodyguard, Butler, is gravely injured, Artemis must risk everything and seek help from Captain Holly Short and the fairy world he once exploited. Fast-paced heists, witty banter, and clever twists keep pages turning while Artemis wrestles with loyalty and the cost of his choices. A great fit for advanced middle-grade readers who like smart humor, action, and tech-meets-magic intrigue.
Setting: modern-day Ireland and Chicago, plus the hidden underground fairy world (Haven City and LEP)
