Genre- Fantasy
Artemis fowl is a story about a 12 year-old boy who has dedicated his life to criminal activities.

The gold is sent in, and Artemis asks Holly for a wish, to cure his mother's insanity — she has been living in her bedroom, driven mad by the loss of her husband. Holly grants the wish at the cost of half the gold. The LEP (Fairy police force) decides to send in a 'blue rinse' which is a biological bomb that kills all organic life to eliminate Artemis and allow for the retrieval of the gold. but this fails when Artemis escapes the time-stop by drugging himself and his comrades with sleeping pills.
