Book description
In my old school, we had fighting, no pool and there'd be vicious
matches against the other schools . . . I miss all that stuff!
Moving to Africa is the worst thing that has ever happened to Benny
Shaw. No one plays hurling (the best game on the planet) and the local
school is run by hippies who like to talk about feelings. As if.
But when Benny meets wisecracking Omar (the name's Bond, James Bond
Omar) who only speaks English in TV catchphrases, he decides that
maybe life in this new country can be fun after all . . .
Eoin Colfer was born and raised in Wexford, where he still lives with
his wife and children.
Artemis Fowl
, his first book featuring the now world-famous young anti-hero, was an
immediate international bestseller and won the WHSmith 'People's Choice'
Children's Book of the Year and Children's Book of the Year at the
British Book Awards. It was followed by five more hugely successful
Artemis Fowl adventures, and well as the highly acclaimed
The Supernaturalist
,
The Wish List,
Half Moon Investigations
and
Airman.
