When Artemis Fowl first came out in 2007, I checked it out from the Hoover Public Library. I read it in one sitting, turned it in, then drove straight to a bookstore to buy my own copy. I purchased every title in the eight-book series. The final one came out in July, and it was a fitting conclusion to one of my favorite fantasy epics. But I'm still pretty sad that it had to end.

If you haven't been introduced to the fairy and technology-filled saga of tween criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl, now is the perfect time to dive in. Since all the books have been published, you won't have to wait a year (or two) between installments like I did. Trust me, you'll be very grateful for that. Read them or listen to them on CD.
