Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel
by Eoin Colfer http://www.eoincolfer.com/

For the first time ever in graphic novel, read all about this 12-year-old criminal mastermind's villainous venture to restore his family's fortune and a plan that could plunge the planet into a cross-species war! (Ages 9-12) the planet into a cross-species war!This is a series of Graphic Novels that do get kids reading. The Graphic Novel or the term I grew up with Comic Book some people will argue this point. Kids in the age range from 9-12 love to read these, personality when kids take AR test on the Graphic Novels they do not score well.
Eoin Colfer was born in Wexford on the South-East coast of Ireland in 1965, where he and his four brothers were brought up by his father (an elementary school teacher, historian and artist of note) and mother (a drama teacher). He first developed an interest in writing in primary school with gripping Viking stories inspired by history he was learning in school at the time!
He says, "I will keep writing until people stop reading or I run out of ideas. Hopefully neither of these will happen anytime soon. He lives in Ireland with his wife and two children.
