Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception
Eoin Colfer
Movie available from June 12th only on Disney+
CHILD GENIUS ARTEMIS FOWL IS IN TERRIBLE DANGER
HE JUST CAN’T REMEMBER WHY
Opal Koboi is back, and the power-crazed pixie wants revenge. Her to-do list:
- Frame Holly Short for murder
- Start a war between fairies and humans
- Kill anyone who’s ever annoyed her (yes, this includes Artemis)
But knowledge of the fairies has been erased from Artemis’s mind, and when you don’t believe your arch-enemy exists, it can be quite tricky to defeat them.
It’s unfortunate that Artemis’s only hope is a farting dwarf. Enter Mulch Diggums . . .
‘Hugely satisfying – not to be missed’ – Irish Independent
‘Engagingly vivid, exciting and witty’ – The Telegraph
‘Fast, funny and very exciting’ – Daily Mail
Artemis Fowl was winner of the WHSmith Children’s Book of the Year Award and Children’s Book of the Year at the Children’s Book Awards. Shortlisted for the Whitbread Children’s Book of the Year Award.*

This time Artemis looses his memory and has to try and defeat a power crazy pixie. It was so exciting and action filled, I couldn't put it down.

This was a mix of funny and adventure. Why would someone be smuggling chocolate truffles?

I thought this book was really good, I rate it 5/5. This book is definitely my favourite in the series so far!! My favourite person was Foaly because even though there was no evidence that Holly did not do it, he still stood by her all the way. My favourite part was at the end- not giving anything away!! I would definitely recommend!!

This book showed me that there are bad people in every species but there are good people as well

Really good illustration going on in this book's front cover.

This book was superbly amazing! It was much funnier as Artemis didn't recognise the fairies. An old villain is back and lots of cool things happen in this book. It is a read that I would definitely recommend to everyone I see!

I love this book so much because the author has created so much suspense and drama that it hooks the reader's attention and wants the reader to read more. Here is a summary of Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception. The book begins with the pixie Opal Koboi faking a coma inside a hospital to avoid incarceration by the Lower Elements Police (LEP) after her failed rebellion and attempt of world domination (which took place in Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident). I rate this book 5 stars.
