The Arctic Incident

In this second installment of the acclaimed Artemis Fowl series, the brilliant but morally ambiguous teen, Artemis Fowl, faces his greatest challenge yet: saving his father from the clutches of the Russian Mafiya. This high-stakes adventure forces Artemis to put aside his criminal tendencies and collaborate with the very fairies he once sought to exploit, including Captain Holly Short. The book is packed with action, advanced technology, and a developing exploration of themes like family loyalty, trust, and the blurred lines between good and evil, making it a compelling read for middle-grade children aged 10-14.

Artemis is at boarding school in Ireland when he suddenly receives an urgent video-email from Russia. In it is a plea from a man who has been kidnapped by the Russian Mafiya: his father. As Artemis rushes to the rescue, he is stopped by captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police. But this time, instead of battling the fairies, he is going to have to join forces with them if he wants to save one of the few people in the world he loves.
