Artemis's mother is dying of a magical plague that he accidently gave her. And there's nothing anyone can do because years ago, Artemis personally destroyed the only thing that would have been able to save his mother.
Lucky for Artemis, he knows the fairies. Traveling back in time with his close fairy-friend Holly, Artemis discovers that all those years ago, things didn't go quite as he remembered them. Not only that, but meddling in the past is seriously dangerous stuff. Has Artemis finally met his match: 10-year-old Artemis? And what will happen if he and Holly can't get back to the present time?
I am still really enjoying this series. I find the characters ever more lovable. And the plot, while always kind of the same, is always different enough to keep me thoroughly entertained!

Artemis is a genius. Artemis is a criminal mastemind. Artemis is ruthless. Artemis is clever and cunning. Artemis stays one step ahead of his enemies. Artemis is rich.
Artemis is 12.
In the first book of the series, young Artemis schemes to steal a literal ton of gold from creatures that many say don't exist outside of fairy tales. Sound fantastic? Just wait until you see what the other side has planned!
This is a great book. Like so many books I've read recently, I really didn't know what to expect going in. But with this book, it only took a couple of pages to get hooked. And it only took a couple of days to finish.
If I had to find one complaint with the book, it would be that the chapters are seriously long. They are pretty well broken up, though; there are stopping points along the way.
If you liked this, look for:
Harry Potter Series
The Immortal Nicholas Flamel Series
