Artemis Fowl ist zwar erst zwölf, aber ein genialer Meisterdieb. Der durchtrainierte Computerfreak, der stets Anzug und Krawatte trägt...

Benny Shaw, a sports-obsessed, carefree kid, is convinced that he can take on the world - until he spends the summer living with his grandfather and meets resident tomboy and all-around tough-girl Babe Meara. Benny may be a wise guy, but Babe is at least three steps ahead of him, especially on her territory. When a money-making business venture arises, however, Babe just might consider Benny as her partner, and possibly as a friend.

Artemis Fowl est un impitoyable génie du crime. Il a douze ans. Artemis a un plan pour rétablir la fortune de sa famille. Il a découvert l'existence du peuple des fées et avec l'aide de Butler, son majordome, s'apprête à kidnapper leur capitaine Holly Short pour exiger une rançon. Seul bémol : les fées sont armées, puissantes, terriblement dangereuses et Artemis semble avoir quelque peu sous-estimé leurs pouvoirs. Au moins, il peut se réjouir d'avoir enfin trouvé un adversaire digne de ce nom.

Was ist los mit Artemis? Die Elfe Holly erkennt den legendären Meisterdieb nicht wieder...

Patrick has been desperate for a dog of his own for as long as he can remember, and this summer, with his father away, he longs for a canine friend more than ever.

And maybe, when they find each other, Oz will learn to bark again. Illustrated in light charcoal by two-time Kate Greenaway Medalist P.J. Lynch, this heartwarming story by Eoin Colfer, internationally best-selling author of the Artemis Fowl series, is certain to enchant.

Funny Business is based around the theme of - what else - humor, and if you’re familiar with Jon and Guys Read, you already know what you’re in store for: an hilarious story.

Two very different cultures collide in this hilarious audiobook about a young sports fanatic named Benny who is forced to leave his home in Ireland and move with his family to Tunisia. He wonders how he will survive in such an unfamiliar place. Then he teams up with wild and resourceful Omar, and a madcap friendship between the two boys leads to trouble, escapades, a unique way of communication, and, ultimately, a heartbreaking challenge.

Myles and Beckett Fowl are twins, but the two boys are wildly different. Beckett is blonde, messy and sulks whenever he has to wear clothes. Myles is impeccably neat, has an IQ of 170 and 3-D prints a fresh suit every day - just like his older brother, Artemis Fowl. A week after their 11th birthday the twins are left in the care of house security system NANNI for a single night. In that time, they befriend a troll on the run from a nefarious nobleman and an interrogating nun, both of whom need the magical creature for their own gain....

Squib Moreau may be swamp-wild, but his intentions are (generally) good: he really wants to be a supportive son to his hard-working momma Elodie. But sometimes life gets in the way - like when Fake Daddy walked out on them leaving a ton of debt, or when crooked Constable Regence Hooke got to thinking pretty Elodie Moreau was just the gal for him....

Un secondo giovane genio ha scoperto l'esistenza del Popolo: è una ragazzina, ed è decisa a catturarne un esemplare per porlo a studi scientifici. E non un esemplare qualsiasi! La nuova arrivata ha intenzione di catturare un demone, un membro .della specie più odia-umani fra quelle ignote all'uomo. Solo un incantesimo millenario separa la tribù demoniaca dal genere umano... e Artemis deve impedire che si dissolva. Se fallisse, demoni sanguinari sarebbero pronti a concludere la loro, antica missione: cancellare ogni umano dalla faccia del pianeta.

For almost two years, Lord Teddy Bleedham-Drye has been plotting revenge against the Fowl Twins, who humiliated him in book one. Teddy plans to give them exactly what they deserve: permanent death. He threatens Myles with his weaponized jet, and Beckett and Specialist Lazuli succeed in disarming the aircraft and causing an accident that kills Lord Teddy. But does it really?

Artemis Fowl è stato contagiato da un virus estremamente pericoloso, quello del Morbo di Atlantide, che non solo suscita in lui una fissazione per il numero 5 (per esempio lo fa parlare in frasi di 5 parole, battere le dita sul tavolo 5 volte e così via), ma alla lunga potrebbe provocare la follia e la morte. A complicare le cose, un nuovo "cattivo" ha deciso di mettergli i bastoni fra le ruote: è il fratello del defunto comandante Tubero che, dopo essere evaso dalla prigione Atlantidea dov'era rinchiuso, si mette all'opera per vendicarsi dei suoi antichi nemici.

Er ist jung, kriminell und genial. Kurzum: Er ist Artemis Fowl. Ein Held, der zur Selbstüberschätzung neigt und dennoch zur Bewunderung nötigt. Allerdings kann selbst ein Artemis Fowl nicht klar denken, wenn die Hormone das Ruder übernehmen. Das Mädchen, das Artemis' Blut geradezu in den Adern kochen lässt und seinen Job - die Dämonenjagd - kompliziert, heißt Minerva. Sie ist ebenso intelligent, draufgängerisch, skrupellos und blasiert wie Artemis. Eine Schwester im Geiste, die unserem Helden den Schweiß auf die Stirn treibt.

Seit jede Erinnerung an das Reich der Unterirdischen aus Artemis' Gedächtnis gelöscht wurde, arbeitet er wieder als Meisterdieb.

Über die Serie: "Artemis Fowl" ist eine Fantasyserie des irischen Autors Eoin Colfer.

Stavolta Artemis Fowl ha combinato davvero un grosso guaio! La sua ultima invenzione, il Cubo, un minicomputer costruito usando la tecnologia fatata sottratta al Popolo e in grado di localizzarne il rifugio sotterraneo, è caduta nelle mani sbagliate. Quelle di Jon Spiro, un avido miliardario pronto a tutto pur di dominare il mondo. D'accordo, il Cubo è protetto dal Codice Eternità, impossibile da decifrare, almeno in teoria... ma in pratica?

The stunning 5th audio title in Eoin Colfer's mega-selling Artemis Fowl series. 10 millennia ago, the fairy people were defeated in a great battle with mankind, forcing them to move underground. Only the 8th family of fairies remained undefeated: the demons. But now one demon has discovered the secrets of the fairy world, and if humans get hold of this information, the fairies are in BIG trouble. Only one person can prevent this disaster, teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl.

Twelve-year-old villain Artemis Fowl is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. His bold and daring plan is to hold a leprechaun to ransom. But he's taking on more than he bargained for when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Unit). For a start, leprechaun technology is more advanced than our own.

Ein braver Junge werden? Undenkbar für den Meisterdieb Artemis Fowl. Deshalb plant er einen letzten großen Coup: logisch, trickreich und mit vollem Risiko. Er will einen neuartigen Computer - gespickt mit geklauter Elfentechnik - an den skrupellosen Milliardär Jon Spiro verkaufen. Doch damit bringt er nicht nur sich und seine Freunde, sondern auch das Reich der Unterirdischen in höchste Gefahr ... Über die Serie: "Artemis Fowl" ist eine Fantasyserie des irischen Autors Eoin Colfer.

Artemis Fowl è davvero un genio criminale? Sì, visto che a dodici anni è riuscito a impadronirsi dell'oro custodito dal Popolo delle creature fatate e a beffarsi della magia grazie al proprio stupefacente Q.I. Cinico, senza scrupoli e provvisto di una schiacciante superiorità intellettuale, Artemis ha tuttavia un punto debole: l'amore per la madre, che pretende di mandarlo a scuola come un moccioso qualunque, e per il padre, misteriosamente scomparso fra i ghiacci dell'Artico.
