Summary:

"Myles and Beckett are eleven-year-old twins, but the two boys are wildly different. Beckett is blonde, messy and sulks whenever he has to wear clothes. Myles is fanatically neat, he has an IQ of 170, and he wears a fresh suit every day like his older brother, Artemis Fowl. Perhaps you have heard of the Fowl family and their adventures? This Fowl adventure is filled with the most unusual of individuals: an immortal duke, a miniature troll, a nunterrogator and a Police Specialist that's 42% elf. And of course, the Fowl twins - one a certified genius with a criminal leaning, and the other possessing an unusual talent that has not been fully explored... yet!" --

Guardian Review

Most critics in most genres will gripe about how big-name franchises have entertainment in a stranglehold. But when a series grabs you, you are putty in its hands. The last Artemis Fowl book came out in 2012, having lit up the pre-teen market in the 00s with a complex antihero, aggressive fairies and futuristic thriller plots. Fans of Eoin Colfer - or their younger siblings - will be relieved that the Fowl name rides again. In The Fowl Twins (HarperCollins) Artemis's younger twin brothers, Myles and Beckett, are home alone on their fortified island examining a miniature troll when a deranged nobleman starts shooting and a Spanish nun arrives with Inquisitorial intentions. Colfer's playfulness is in full swing, as puns fly and physics bends to the machinations of the twins, who are just as bad (or should that be good?) as Artemis. It is, inevitably, the start of a new series.
