Artemis Fowl, the Artic Incident


Artemis Fowl,the Artic Incident, by Eoin Colfer, is about Cudgeon getting revenge on the LEP. Artemis is at boarding school when he receives an urgent e-mail from Russia. In it is a plea from a man who has been kidnapped by the Russian Mafia, Artemis' father. As Artemis rushes to his rescue, he is stopped by a familiar nemesies, captian Holly Short. This time instead of battling the fairies, he joined them to fight Cudgeon and, in return, they promised him to help rescue his father.


The main character of Artemis Fowl, the Artic Incident is Artemis Fowl. He is a genius who outsmarts some of the world's most notorious criminal minds. In this book, he is kinder because he helps the fairies.

The main villain of Artemis Fowl is Cudgeon. Cudgeon tried to take revenge on the fairy people by teaming-up with the goblin gangs and Kobi the pixie. At the end, the LEP and Artemis won and the villains were all sent to jail.


If you like fantasy and science fiction, you should read Artemis Fowl. One of the techniques that Eoin Colfer uses is dialogue to show action. Another technique used by this author is he keeps you guessing until the very end.


The reading strategies that I used were making mental images and asking questions. These strategies helped me understand the book better. By understanding the book better, the reader can appreciate the depth of the story and becomes engaged in the main charecter's adventures as he fights evil.


The author of Artemis Fowl, The Arctic Incident is Eoin Colfer, who authored the entire Artemis Fowl series. Eoin Colfer keeps the reader in constant suspense throughout this book.
