In the 1890s Conor and his family live on the sovereign Saltee Islands, off the Irish coast. Conor spends his days studying the science of flight with his tutor and exploring the castle with the king’s daughter, Princess Isabella. But the boy’s idyllic life changes forever the day he discovers a deadly conspiracy against the king. When Conor tries to intervene, he is branded a traitor and thrown into jail on the prison island of Little Saltee. There, he has to fight for his life, as he and the other prisoners are forced to mine for diamonds in inhumane conditions. There is only one way to escape Little Saltee, and that is to fly. So Conor passes the solitary months by scratching drawings of flying machines on the prison walls. The months turn into years; but eventually the day comes when Conor must find the courage to trust his revolutionary designs and take to the air.

AN ENGLISHMAN'S CONTINUING SEARCH THROUGH SPACE AND TIME FOR A DECENT CUP OF TEA... Arthur Dent's accidental association with that wholly remarkable book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has not been entirely without incident. Arthur has traveled the length, breadth, and depth of known, and unknown, space. He has stumbled forward and backward through time. He has been blown up, reassembled, cruelly imprisoned, horribly released, and colorfully insulted more than is strictly necessary. And of course Arthur Dent has comprehensively failed to grasp the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. Arthur has finally made it home to Earth, but that does not mean he has escaped his fate. Arthur's chances of getting his hands on a decent cuppa have evaporated rapidly, along with all the world's oceans. For no sooner has he touched down on the planet Earth than he finds out that it is about to be blown up...again. And Another Thing...is the rather unexpected, but very welcome, sixth installment of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. It features a pantheon of unemployed gods, everyone's favorite renegade Galactic President, a lovestruck green alien, an irritating computer, and at least one very large slab of cheese.

Artemis rushes from Ireland school to Russia where the Mafiya kidnapped his father. Captain Holly Short of LEPRecon against fairies interrupts him. This time he may have to join the fairies instead of battling them.

In the third Artemis Fowl instalment the 13-year-old criminal mastermind takes on his most cunning adversary yet — American billionaire Jon Spiro, owner of the high-tech firm Fission Chips. While recuperating Artemis Fowl’s father, AF Senior, stuns all with his pronouncement that he wants the family to turn over a new leaf and stay on the right side of the law. Not surprisingly Artemis has other plans for one last heist, after which the Fowls will become a law abiding family. Anyway Artemis had been planning the job long before his father’s damascene conversion to all things legal. Anyway, what could go wrong? Everything, as it turns out. Artemis’s scheme to extract one metric ton of gold from Spiro, in exchange for keeping the C Cube, a mega computer (built from parts stolen from the fairies), off the market, implodes spectacularly. In order to save Butler, his bodyguard, and set things back to rights in the fairy world, Artemis joins forces with Butler’s sister Juliet and drafts the help of his nemesis Captain Holly Short, Foaly the computer nerd and the breezy, dwarf Mulch Diggums. The die is cast for all kinds of interwoven mayhem that culminates with the climactic break-in at Chicago’s Spiro Needle. Another Artemis exploit that matches the action and suspense of the first two Artemis Fowl books. Twists and turns get better as Artemis schemes his way into Spiro’s lair, and the novel slaps readers with a mind-spinning finale. Like a fine wine, Fowl’s brilliance gets better with age. It’s hard to imagine a summer reading book that’s more fun.

Ten thousand years ago, humans and fairies fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear to the fairy families that they could never win, they decided to move their civilisation underground and keep themselves hidden from the humans. All the fairy families agreed on this, except the eighth family, the demons. The demons planned to lift their small island out of time until they had regrouped and were ready to wage war on the humans once more. However, the time spell went wrong, and the island of Hybras was catapulted into Limbo, where it has remained for ten thousand years. Now, the tainted time spell is deteriorating and demons are being sucked back into the present space and time. The fairy Council are naturally concerned about this and are monitoring any materialisations. When the spell’s deterioration accelerates, the materialisations become unpredictable. Even the fairy scientists cannot figure out where the next demon will pop up. But someone can. Artemis Fowl, the teenage criminal mastermind, has solved temporal equations that no normal human should be intelligent enough to understand. But Artemis Fowl is no normal human. So when a confused and frightened demon pops up in a Sicilian theatre, Artemis Fowl is there to meet him. Unfortunately, he is not the only one. A second, mysterious party has also solved the temporal equations, and manages to abduct the demon before Artemis can secure him. This is a disaster for the fairy People, because this demon was no ordinary fairy. He was the last demon warlock, and as such held the key to the survival of the entire demon race. It is up to Artemis and his old comrade Captain Holly Short to track down the missing demon and rescue him before the time spell dissolves completely and the lost demon colony returns violently to Earth.

Evil pixie, Opal Koboi, is back and she's more dangerous than ever. This time she doesn't just want power over the fairy People - this time she wants the humans too. Captain Holly Short is the only fairy with a hope of stopping her, but as Holly knows, it takes one genius criminal mastermind to fight another. But the 14-year-old genius that Holly is thinking of doesn't even remember that fairies exist. How is she going to convince Artemis Fowl to help her stop Opal? Gold usually does the trick, and this time is should be no different. Or is Artemis changing?

Teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl has a new mission - and this time it's personal. Artemis's mother is dangerously ill, and the only way to find a cure is for Artemis - with Holly Short by his side - to go back in time to battle his younger, more evil self . . . Action packed and full of humour - a must-read for boys and girls aged 10+.

Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius, and above all, a criminal mastermind. But even Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories—they're dangerous! Full of unexpected twists and turns, Artemis Fowl is a riveting, magical adventure.

A best-selling author and an award-winning illustrator join forces in a long-form picture book that turns a familiar myth of Irish folklore into a universal story of love, perseverance, and friendship against all odds. Banshees are well known to most of us as supernatural Irish harbingers of doom. But not many know that they grow on the prickly gorse bush inside little pods, and that the sole job of a baby banshee, or “bansheenie,” is to bond with a human and know all there is to know about that person, including when they're destined to breathe their last breath. One bansheenie named Beanie, however, is no ordinary herald of death. When she sees her person, a little girl named Rose, she decides to change both their fates—and instead of delivering bad news, protect Rose and her family. And when her banshee's howl won't work, she must draw power and strength from the ancient secrets and hidden networks of the natural world to create a new sound, a new way of being in the world, that will change everything. Melding Eoin Colfer’s welcoming voice and Steve McCarthy’s striking Celtic imagery, Beanie the Bansheenie is a gloriously immersive, detailed, and emotional storytelling experience.

Two very different cultures collide in this hilarious book about a young sports fanatic named Benny who is forced to leave his home in Ireland and move with his family to Tunisia.

Then he teams up with wild and resourceful Omar, and a madcap friendship between the two boys leads to trouble, escapades, a unique way of communicating, and ultimately, a heartbreaking challenge.

The second book in the blockbusting new series from the bestselling author of Artemis Fowl. The second Fowl Twins adventure starts with a bang – literally. Artemis's little brothers Myles and Beckett borrow the Fowl jet without permission, and it ends up as a fireball over Florida. The twins plus their fairy minder, the pixie-elf hybrid Lazuli Heitz, are lucky to escape with their lives. The Fowl parents and fairy police force decide that enough is enough and the twins are placed under house arrest. But Myles has questions, like: who was tracking the Fowl jet? Why would someone want to blow them out of the sky? These questions must infuriate someone, because Myles is abducted and spirited away from his twin. Now Beckett and Lazuli must collaborate to find Myles and rescue him – not easy when it was Myles who was the brains of the operation. Their chase will take them across continents, deep underground, and into subaquatic super villain lairs. They will be shot at, covered in spit, and at the receiving end of some quite nasty dwarf sarcasm. But will Beckett be able to come up with a genius plan without a genius on hand…?

Atemberaubende Coups, eiskalt durchgezogen, sind das Markenzeichen des genialen Artemis Fowl. Gerade ist er dabei, das am besten gesicherte Gemälde der Welt aus einer Bank zu stehlen, da gerät das geheime Erdland in äußerste Gefahr: Die gefährliche Wichtelin Opal ist ihren Bewachern entkommen und plant finstere Rache...

Kehren die Dämonen auf die Erde zurück? Jahrtausendelang lebten sie auf der Insel Hybras in einer Zwischenwelt, doch nun werden mehr und mehr dieser mondsüchtigen Wesen auf der Erde gesichtet. Eine Bedrohung für die Menschen und für die unterirdischen Feen und Trolle? Artemis Fowl ist zutiefst beunruhigt, da kommt ihm auch noch ein zwölfjähriges Mädchen in die Quere. Und dann wird es richtig brenzlig.

Artemis Fowl, der jugendliche Meisterdieb, ist zurück! Nachdem Artemis im ersten Band der als Trilogie angelegten Geschichte dem Elfenvolk ihr Gold abgeluchst hat, hat er immer noch nicht die Hoffnung auf die Rettung seines verschollenen Vaters aufgegeben. Dieser ist vor Jahren, bei dem Versuch, eine Schiffsladung Coca-Cola nach Russland zu bringen, verschwunden. Und tatsächlich: Endlich meldet sich die russische Mafia mit einer Lösegeldforderung bei Artemis. Sofort tüftelt das durchtriebene Genie an einem Befreiungsplan. Szenenwechsel: Cpt. Holly Short, immer noch nicht gut auf den Erdmenschen Artemis zu sprechen, ist auf einer Routinepatrouille, als sie von einem kriminellen Kobold attackiert wird -- mit einer batterienbetriebenen Laserwaffe, die eigentlich längst verboten sein sollte. Dass die ansonsten dümmlichen Kobolde jetzt scheinbar über Hightechausrüstung verfügen und Zugang zu Batterien haben, lässt für die Polizisten der LEP nur einen Schluss zu: Artemis muss dahinter stecken. Also wird dieser kurzerhand mit seinem getreuen Beschützer Butler zum Verhör verschleppt. Als seine Unschuld in der Angelegenheit klar ist, wird ein Pakt geschlossen -- Artemis hilft bei der Bekämpfung der Koboldsgefahr, und dafür versprechen die Elfen dem Jungen ihre Hilfe bei der Rettung seines Vaters. Doch dann geraten sie in einen Hinterhalt, und die bösartigen Drahtzieher hinter der Bewaffnung der Kobolde starten ihren lang geplanten Großangriff auf das Elfenvolk. Autor Eoin Colfer hat es mal wieder richtig krachen lassen. Von Beginn an legt er ein atemberaubendes Tempo vor und brennt ein wahres Action-Feuerwerk ab. Man merkt, wie viel Freude dem irischen Geschichtenerzähler das Schreiben bereitet hat. Colfers manchmal brachialer Humor wird in Balance gehalten durch die liebevolle und augenzwinkernde Darstellung seiner Charaktere. Fazit: Bruce Willis hätte als kleiner Junge bestimmt seine helle Freude an diesem Buch gehabt. Aber Colfer hat auch an seine weiblichen Leser gedacht: Mit der Elfe Holly hat der Autor eine -- um im Filmjargon zu bleiben -- Kreuzung zwischen Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider) und Cameron Diaz (Drei Engel für Charlie) geschaffen, die Artemis Fowl wie das aussehen lässt, was er hinter der Fassade des genialen Besserwissers gerne versteckt -- ein einsamer, blasser und verzogener Junge mit zwei linken Händen. --Kai Lohnert

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series comes a hilarious and high-octane adult novel about a vodka-drinking, Flashdance-loving dragon who lives an isolated life in the bayous of Louisiana—and the raucous adventures that ensue when he crosses paths with a fifteen-year-old troublemaker on the run from a crooked sheriff. In the days of yore, he flew the skies and scorched angry mobs—now he hides from swamp tour boats and rises only with the greatest reluctance from his Laz-Z-Boy recliner. Laying low in the bayou, this once-magnificent fire breather has been reduced to lighting Marlboros with nose sparks, swilling Absolut in a Flashdance T-shirt, and binging Netflix in a fishing shack. For centuries, he struck fear in hearts far and wide as Wyvern, Lord Highfire of the Highfire Eyrie—now he goes by Vern. However...he has survived, unlike the rest. He is the last of his kind, the last dragon. Still, no amount of vodka can drown the loneliness in his molten core. Vern’s glory days are long gone. Or are they? A canny Cajun swamp rat, young Everett “Squib” Moreau does what he can to survive, trying not to break the heart of his saintly single mother. He’s finally decided to work for a shady smuggler—but on his first night, he witnesses his boss murdered by a crooked constable. Regence Hooke is not just a dirty cop, he’s a despicable human being—who happens to want Squib’s momma in the worst way. When Hooke goes after his hidden witness with a grenade launcher, Squib finds himself airlifted from certain death by…a dragon? The swamp can make strange bedfellows, and rather than be fried alive so the dragon can keep his secret, Squib strikes a deal with the scaly apex predator. He can act as his go-between (aka familiar)—fetch his vodka, keep him company, etc.—in exchange for protection from Hooke. Soon the three of them are careening headlong toward a combustible confrontation. There’s about to be a fiery reckoning, in which either dragons finally go extinct—or Vern’s glory days are back. A triumphant return to the genre-bending fantasy that Eoin Colfer is so well known for, Highfire is an effortlessly clever and relentlessly funny tour-de-force of comedy and action.

Stavolta Artemis Fowl ha combinato davvero un grosso guaio! La sua ultima invenzione, il Cubo, un minicomputer costruito usando la tecnologia fatata sottratta al Popolo e in grado di localizzarne il rifugio sotterraneo, è caduta nelle mani sbagliate. Quelle di Jon Spiro, un avido miliardario pronto a tutto pur di dominare il mondo. D'accordo, il Cubo è protetto dal Codice Eternità, impossibile da decifrare, almeno in teoria¿ ma in pratica? Così, per non correre rischi, entra ancora una volta in azione l'improbabile squadra costituita da Artemis, il giovane genio criminale, l'impulsivo ufficiale elfo Spinella Tappo e l'ineffabile nano cleptomane Bombarda Sterro. Il comandante Tubero e il centauro Poliedro hanno però deciso che, per la sicurezza del Popolo, bisogna cancellare non solo il sofisticato programma del Cubo ma anche i pericolosi ricordi che affollano la mente di Artemis?

With wit and gorgeous art, New York Times best-selling author Eoin Colfer and multi-award-winning illustrator P.J. Lynch team up again for a quest story of knights, dark magic, and a maiden with powers of her own. Studious Prince Lir is next in line to become the Wolfhound King, but he can’t ride a horse, lift a sword, or summon the fabled wolfhounds. So his stepmother decrees that her own son will inherit the crown instead, sending Lir away on a seemingly impossible—and assuredly fatal—to rescue the maiden Cethlenn from the once-fearsome dragon Lasvarg. Rather than wage battle, Lir insists that Lasvarg, now decidedly past his prime, honor tradition by setting him three tasks to perform—starting with tackling the mold encrusting the dragon’s cave (and his feet!). As Lir improves Lasvarg’s life, he also grows closer to Cethlenn . . . as well as the wolfhound puppy strangely devoted to her. In time, they learn more of the dark magic that may be making pawns of them all—and how Cethlenn herself could be the key to breaking a spell that clouds the entire kingdom. With transporting language and a magnificent dragon masterfully rendered with a range of emotions, Eoin Colfer and P.J. Lynch make their own magic in this classic fantasy with a light feminist twist.
