Artemis Fowl And The Time Paradox: Eoin Colfer

Book VI of Artemis Fowl. Artemis is no stranger to trouble - in fact, he's a magnet for it. Man-eating trolls, armed, dangerous and high-tech fairies, flame-throwing goblins...he's seen the lot. He had decided to forego criminal activity of the more magical kind and instead, teach his twin siblings the important things in life, such as how to properly summon a waiter at a French restaurant. But when Artemis' mother contracts a life-threatening illness, his world is turned upside down. The only hope for a cure lies in the brain fluid of the silky sifaka lemur. Unfortunately, the animal is extinct due to a heartless bargain Artemis himself made as a younger boy. Though the odds are stacked against him, Artemis is not willing to give up. With fairy ally Captain Holly Short at his side, Artemis is going back in time to save the lemur. The rules of time travel are far from simple, but to save his mother, Artemis will have to break them all and outsmart his most cunning adversary yet: Artemis Fowl, age ten.
