Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony
Ten thousand years ago, humans and fairies fought a great battle. When the fairies realised they'd never win, they moved their civilization underground and hid. All the families agreed, except the demons. The demons planned to lift themselves out of time until they were ready to wage war on the humans once more. But the spell went wrong, and they were catapulted into Limbo. Now the spell's deterioration is accelerating and the demon materializations are erupting. Fairy scientists cannot predict the next one. But someone can: Artemis Fowl, teenage criminal mastermind. So when a confused and frightened demon pops up in a Sicilian theatre, Artemis is there to meet him. Unfortunately, another mysterious party has also solved the equations and manages to abduct the demon, which could have disastrous consequences. Once again, it’s up to Artemis and his comrade Holly Short to save the day.

Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius and, above all, a criminal mastermind: the perfect anti-hero. Artemis combines the astuteness of Sherlock Holmes with the sangfroid of James Bond and the attitude of Attila the Hun. But even Artemis doesn't realise what he has taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories. These fairies are armed and they're dangerous. Artemis thinks he's got them just where he wants them, but then they stop playing by the rules...
