Artemis Fowl is a series of fantasy novels written by Irish author Eoin Colfer, starring the teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl. The series is written in half-serious language, alternating dark moments with humorous ones, a style favored by a number of popular children's authors, including J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter) and Roald Dahl (The Witches).
Artemis, the main character, is a ruthless, cold-hearted, yet extremely intelligent young criminal whose main goal is the acquisition of money through a variety of schemes (although his values change towards the 5th book). The author of the series summed up the series as: "Die Hard with fairies."
