Artimes Fowl: The Lost Colony – Eoin Colfer

Going back thousands of years ago, the 8th family of magical beings, demons, were in a war with humans. Though the other fairies gave up, the 8th family did not and instead the warlock demons set a time spell and when the time was right, they would seek revenge on the humans.

But something happened and even if the spell did work, one day it would explode and destroy Hybras, the demons’ island. Everything would disappear and all the demons would travel through time. Some would go to Earth and many will go to space to die, but very few will survive.

In this book, Artimes is involved with one demon warlock, No.1, the very last warlock. No.1 is very different from the others. Unlike them, he does not feel the need to kill something and rip it to parts. He longed for love or at least someone who would understand him. While Artimes was on a mission with his bodyguard, Butler, and his fairy friend, Holly Short, to catch No.1 and send him back, his plan fails. Someone else kidnapped No.1 and it was a little girl with her two big friends. Seemed like she was smart because she kidnapped him flawlessly without a single mistake. Well, now, time is running out and Hybras will soon explode. Plus, No.1 is the only one who could stop it. If demons come to Earth, they will eat all humans and probably start ruling the world.

Maybe they’ll use the humans as slaves instead of eating them. Will Artimes risk his life and leave his family, Butler, and new friends behind, while he saves the world? Well, you’re going to have to read this book to find out! I recommend this book to both, boys and girls, if they like adventure and magical creatures. I hope you enjoy this book! ^-^
