"Man is coming to the center of the Earth." This is bad news for the fairy people who live in the Earth's core. Little do they know that Opal Koboi, the monstrous pixie genius, is behind the evil plot to bring humans and fairies into contact. It is up to Holly Short (a fairy police officer), Artemis Fowl (a boy genius), Butler (Artemis's bodyguard), and Mulch Diggums (a tunneling dwarf) to foil her plan. Will man discover the existence of fairies?Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception by Eoin Colfer is a fast-paced and very imaginative fantasy book. It takes place on the surface and in the center of the Earth and is from the point of view of an omniscient narrator. I would highly recommend this book to anyone of any age who likes fantasy books that have constant action. Other books in this series are Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident, Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code, and The Artemis Fowl Files.
