Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident by Eoin Colfer
Artemis Fowl, now thirteen and attending boarding school, receives a mysterious message from Russia revealing the possible whereabouts of his missing father, held hostage by the Russian Mafiya. In a quest to rescue his father, he joins forces with his past nemeses, Captain Holly Short and the LEPRecon Police Unit. But it's not so easy when a mysterious alliance between a human and the B'wa Kell wreaks havoc underground and stands in Artemis's way...

Following the success of the first Artemis Fowl book, this sequel was no disappointment. I'd even go about saying that it outshone the first (which is rare among sequels). The one thing I liked about this book was that it doesn't take Artemis to a different saga with new characters, a new setting, and the like. Holly and the Fairy Police are still there, and so we see a bond form between Artemis and the fairies. Not only does the story progress through, character development is also evident. In this book, the author portrays Artemis no longer as a cold and overachieveing villain, but as a lonely boy who just wants to be with his father. Of course, there's also the exciting and nerve-wracking plot full of twists as Artemis struggles to rescue his father!

I liked this book even more than the first, and I loved the first book! So go read the first Artemis Fowl and read this one immediately. And when you're finished, brace yourself for the third book...

Genre: Young Adult
Side note: If you want to buy a copy of this book, pick the one with the shiny cover. It's so sparkly and pretty...
