Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox by Eoin Colfer


Artemis Fowl. A child genius who finds the fairy race, makes a lot of money and outwits his foes. In this book however you might say he has met his match, himself.


After disappearing for three years, Artemis returnes home to find he has two brothers and a sick mother. His mothers health continues to decrease and has only hours to live. So as you would expect Artemis calls in the "Calvary", the faires. They soon find that Artimes' mother has a old fairy apedemic that killed heaps of people, brought devestation to everybody, caused world wide panic and... you get the idea. The only place that has the cure for the disease is the past, so guess what Artemis and Holly do? They go to the past.


The Time Paradox is a typical Artimes Fowl book that gives you some action while also building and developing the characters. There are some clever plots even if the time paradox thereoms may confuse some younger readers. A well writen book that shows a new side to Artemis.
