Artemis Fowl erstmals ungekürzt. Artemis Fowl, der jüngste Spross einer alten irischen Gangsterdynastie, möchte mit einem unglaublichen Plan den finanziellen Ruin seiner Familie aufhalten. Mit Hilfe des in seinen Besitz gelangten Buchs der Elfen deckt er ein Geheimnis auf, von dem bisher kein Mensch etwas ahnte. Tief unter der Erde hütet das Elfen-Volk einen legendären Goldschatz. Artemis ist zwar erst zwölf, aber hochbegabt und mit Hilfe seines schlagkräftigen Butlers macht er sich auf, das Gold zu rauben.

Die Zwillinge Myles und Beckett Fowl führen ein sorgenfreies und etwas langweiliges Leben auf einer idyllischen irischen Insel. Der Rest der berühmt berüchtigten Familie Fowl ist abwesend, das elektronische Abwehrsystem Nanni beaufsichtigt die beiden. Die beiden Brüder könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein. Während Myles am liebsten geniale elektronische Geräte entwickelt, ist Beckett den ganzen Tag in der Natur und spricht mit Pflanzen und Tieren. Der alternde Bösewicht Lord Teddy Bleedham-Drye ist vom Jungsein besessen.

Daniel McEvoy hat ein Problem. Der Mob ist hinter ihm her. Die Polizei auch. Dabei will der Ex-Soldat und frischgebackene Club-Besitzer doch nur gemütlich mit seiner neuen Freundin auf dem Sofa sitzen. Aus ihm völlig unbegreiflichen Gründen findet er sich plötzlich in einem Auto auf dem Grund des Hudson wieder - und muss zudem die Sprachfehler und grammatikalischen Schnitzer seiner Verfolger ertragen. Aber ein Feingeist wie er ist Kummer gewohnt.

One week after their 11th birthday, the Fowl twins - scientist Myles, and Beckett, the force of nature - are left in the care of house security (NANNI) for a single night. In that time they befriend a troll who has clawed his way through the earth's crust to the surface. Unfortunately for the troll, he is being chased by a nefarious nobleman and an interrogating nun, who both need the magical creature for their own gain, as well as a fairy-in-training who has been assigned to protect him. The boys and their new troll best friend escape and go on the run.

Squib Moreau may be swamp-wild, but his intentions are (generally) good: he really wants to be a supportive son to his hard-working momma Elodie. But sometimes life gets in the way - like when Fake Daddy walked out on them leaving a ton of debt, or when crooked Constable Regence Hooke got to thinking pretty Elodie Moreau was just the gal for him....

Riley, a teen orphan boy living in Victorian London, has had the misfortune of being apprenticed to Albert Garrick, an illusionist who has fallen on difficult times and now uses his unique conjuring skills to gain access to victims' dwellings. On one such escapade, Garrick brings his reluctant apprentice along and urges him to commit his first killing. Riley is saved from having to commit the grisly act when the intended victim turns out to be a scientist from the future, part of the FBI's Witness Anonymous Relocation Program (WARP).

Fletcher Moon has never been like other kids. For one thing, he has had to suffer the humiliating nickname "Half Moon" because of his short stature. But the real reason Fletcher is different is that ever since he was a baby, he's had a nose for sniffing out mysteries. And let's just say, it's not a skill that has been appreciated by many people, including his own family.

Riley, an orphan boy living in Victorian London, has achieved his dream of becoming a renowned magician, the Great Savano. He owes much of his success to Chevie, a 17-year-old FBI agent who traveled from the future in a time pod and helped him defeat his murderous master, Albert Garrick. But it is difficult for Riley to enjoy his new life, for he has always believed that Garrick will someday, somehow, return to seek vengeance.
