Years ago, I was introduced to the Artemis Fowl series.
We borrowed the first book in audiobook format and listened while driving to visit family.
My boys and husband thoroughly enjoyed it.
And we started reading the other books as they came out.
After a short hiatus in the Fowl-sphere, Eoin Colfer took to writing about the Fowl twins.
Myles, a brainiac who hates the physical, and Beckett, the twin who is all about doing and not so much on the thinking.
This is the second book in their series and it is packed with all the craziness one has come to expect from the author. The villain from the 1st book is back, although he is more in the background as he found an angry dwarf to do his bidding of destroying the Fowl twins.
Loads of adventure, some more fairy lore to incorporate, and a few harrowing situations to provide suspense. All in all, a great blend for kids and adults alike.

The villain from the last Fowl Twins book is not as defeated as Myles, Beckett, and Lazuli thought. He makes a copy of Myles for a group of dwarves seeking to reclaim lost gold. The dwarves kidnap Myles which leads to Beckett and Lazuli going after him with many hilarious and almost deadly incidents occurring throughout. #TheFowlTwinsDenyAllChargesTheFowlTwinsBook2 #NetGalley
For some reason I don't like the Fowl Twins as much as I do the original Artemis Fowl. But it's adventuresome and silly enough for most kid readers.
Summary: Taking the Fowl jet without permission before it mysteriously explodes over Florida, the Fowl twins are placed under house arrest until Myles's questions about what really happened lead to an astonishing abduction.

Four stars purely for enjoyment. I doubt this book will endure long on its literary merits, but I unashamedly love reading the series. Such a weirdly adorable book.
