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 . . .
'Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox is unadulterated joy. . . Perhaps what distinguishes Colfer most from JK Rowling is that he sides with the rule-breakers, the needlessly naughty and the downright rude: with the children, in essence'

'Vastly enjoyable, witty, well-written'

'Artemis is as calculating as ever but it's Colfer's deftness of touch and attention to the minutest detail that makes these books such a joyous romp. His dialogue is crisp as a wafer, fine-tuned by a lifelong appreciation of classic American cop series, and the images he conjures are as colourful as any graphic novel you'd care to name'
