My Equal favorite books along with Harry Potter are the Artemis Fowl Series. They are about fairies who live underground with an elite police unit called the LEP with 2 divisions, The LEP RECON and LEP RETREIVAL, The books start with artemis kidnapping Holly, and Elf and holding her ransom. After about the 2nd book they are best freinds and fight evil and criminals together

Stuff about the last book:

Spoiler:

Eoin Colfer has confirmed that there will be a sixth Artemis Fowl book named Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox. The release date is set for July 15, 2008.[1] In Colfer's video blogs, he mentions the book saying it may not be the last but the last one for at least 3 years.[2]

[edit] Plot
Eoin Colfer has said in an online interview that the book will have Artemis's mother sick and dying. She needs brain fluid from an extinct animal. Artemis himself had killed the last of that kind of animal a few years earlier. To get the LEP to let him time travel, Artemis makes Holly think that it's her fault that his mother is dying. When Artemis goes back in time, he sees a younger version of himself (before he became mostly good).[3]


[edit] Information from Colfer
Eoin Colfer has confirmed that the book will be named Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox.
Colfer has also stated that the two siblings of Artemis Fowl are both boys, with the names Myles and Beckett,[4] but had earlier stated that he had been leaning toward Jonathan and Finian.[5]
Colfer has stated that the action will take place in Finland, Ireland and Morocco, and will involve a creature that has slept for millennia, more time travel, irritating younger twin brothers, and an evil hypno-therapist called Dr. Kronski.[4]
The first chapter will take place at Helsinki Harbour.

Yes yes you should. Eoin Colfer knows how to write a story with a lot of suspense and a lot of action. And he can discrbie details greatly.

I love those books, read them all in German. My favourite character is Butler's little sister, Juliet. She kicks ass, literally.
