About this book
Artemis Fowl’s brush with fairy magic has triggered the Atlantis Complex, leaving the young mastermind unusually polite—and dangerously unreliable—just as the underwater city of Atlantis faces a high-tech assault. Holly Short and the LEP must navigate rogue robots, secret plots, and Artemis’s fractured mind to save the day. Fast-paced action, sharp humor, and clever gadgets make this a favorite for middle school readers who like sci-fi fantasy with wit. Great for fans who enjoy smart heroes, snappy banter, and high-stakes adventures.
Setting: modern-day Ireland and the underground fairy world, including the city of Atlantis
