Another Fowlscapade

The Fowl Twins and LEP Specialist Lazuli Heitz are back in another fast paced, action-packed adventure. Lord Teddy Bleedham-Drye is back with a vengeance, and Myles Fowl is the target of his fury. Archenemies are hard to get rid of, especially when magic is involved. In an

exciting turn, Myles accidently invents his own fairy-magic-superpower, and it causes a domino effect of disaster. Taking charge, Lazuli, with the help of Beckett, work to lead them out of peril. Lazuli, learns a bit more about her magic and Beckett’s instinctive physicality are spectacular as ever, saving all of their lives on multiple occasions. But their luck is running out, and Lord Teddy is not finished with them. Without their normal resources can they solve this mystery before they fall into a deadly trap?

Eoin Colfer guarantees that there are plenty of surprises, including new characters and some old friends from the fairy world. Readers jump right into the action from page one, and culminates into an exciting end. Filled with the same humorous whit, scientific invention, and fascinating anecdotes as the previous two books. Yes, there is also plenty of toilet humor as well, and mentions of vomit. The science in this book may be a bit dubious, but it is a lot of fun. Myles and Beckett Fowl are their same ingenious selves throughout the book, but learn that they don’t always have the answers. Lazuli also has a bit of soul searching about her past, and the value of her own strength. Together they face their fears in order to ruin Lord Teddy’s evil plans. All ending in a hilarious and crazy mess. This is a great middle grade book filled with magic, intelligence, and unexpected adventure.

I liked the original Artemis Fowl series. It was clever. But The Fowl Twins is just a rerun of the original series with different characters. Same old, same old. I don't think I'm going to go beyond this third book of the new series.
