Book Condition: This book is in excellent condition. There is very, very minor shelf wear damage. The spine at the very top left corner has a tiny tear in it, but no other bends, tears, rips, or damage. The book itself on the inside is like new. There is yellowing of the pages, which I believe is intentional of the publishers. Book Synopsis: The adventures of Artemis Fowl, criminal mastermind, begin! Twelve-year-old criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl has discovered a world below ground of armed and dangerous—and extremely high-tech—fairies. He kidnaps one of them, Holly Short, and holds her for ransom in an effort to restore his family’s fortune. But he may have underestimated the fairies’ powers. Is he about to trigger a cross-species war?
