A rescue mission across time

A family emergency sends Artemis Fowl back to a mistake from his own childhood: a bargain that helped drive the silky sifaka lemur to extinction. The animal’s brain fluid is presented as the only hope for his mother’s illness, giving the time-travel mission a personal stake as well as a conservation element. With fairy allies beside him, Artemis must contend with a poacher targeting Holly Short—and with his ten-year-old self, who becomes his most difficult adversary. The setup brings together time travel, the consequences of past choices, and the challenge of outmaneuvering a younger version of oneself.

  • Readers who enjoy fantasy involving fairies and time travel.
  • Readers interested in clever young protagonists facing problems tied to their past choices.

Book overview

The sixth book in Eoin Colfer's internationally bestselling series about a criminal mastermind and his siege against dangerous, tech-savvy fairies.

"The world that Colfer creates is as vivid and fantastical as any shire, gotham, or galaxy far, far away in recent memory."
―Entertainment Weekly

When Artemis Fowl's 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 young boy.

Though the odds are stacked against him, Artemis is not willing to give up. With the help of his fairy friends, the young genius travels back in time to save the lemur and bring it back to the present. But to do so, Artemis will have to defeat a maniacal poacher, who has set his sights on new prey: Holly Short.

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.
