Hi Susan!
I bet you can't wait to go on holiday! Don't
worry about which book to take because I’ve just read a brilliant fantasy thriller set in Ireland. It's called Artemis Fowl and it's by my favourite author, Eoin Colfer.
Let me tell you a bit about the book. Basically, it's
a fairy tale for our times. It's about a fairy police officer
called Captain Holly Short who is kidnapped by the
twelve-year-old evil genius. Artemis Fowl. He wants
the fairies to pay a lot of gold to get her back. Unfortunately for Artemis. Holly Short is a member of
the fairy secret police and her senior officer will do anything to rescue her.
So, as you can imagine, the plot is very exciting
and fast-paced and it is very funny, too. The
characters are also well developed. There is a lot of action and interesting high-tech gadgets. The theme of good versus evil is strong throughout.
Well, that's about it. All in all, Artemis Fowl is an excellent book that I think is very well written. I couldn’t put it down from the very first page! I would definitely recommend that you read it. Have a great holiday!
