The villain from the last Fowl Twins book is not as defeated as Myles, Beckett, and Lazuli thought. He makes a copy of Myles for a group of dwarves seeking to reclaim lost gold. The dwarves kidnap Myles which leads to Beckett and Lazuli going after him with many hilarious and almost deadly incidents occurring throughout. #TheFowlTwinsDenyAllChargesTheFowlTwinsBook2 #NetGalley
For some reason I don't like the Fowl Twins as much as I do the original Artemis Fowl. But it's adventuresome and silly enough for most kid readers.
Summary: Taking the Fowl jet without permission before it mysteriously explodes over Florida, the Fowl twins are placed under house arrest until Myles's questions about what really happened lead to an astonishing abduction.

Four stars purely for enjoyment. I doubt this book will endure long on its literary merits, but I unashamedly love reading the series. Such a weirdly adorable book.

I think I have outgrown these books. The Fowl Twins books seem aimed at a younger audience than the original Artemis Fowl series. The humour and wit are still there, but they don't suck me in like the predecessors have.
That said, the world is still fun to visit. These books likely still have great appeal to the younger readers out there.

I received an eARC courtesy of Disney Publishing Worldwide/Disney-Hyperion & NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
I must admit that I have not read book 1 in this new Fowl series, & I do try never to jump into a series in the midst of things. That being said, I do feel like the prologue did a pretty good recap/setup of, I imagine, most of what a reader would need to know.
Moving beyond that, my initial impressions of this book are that the language seems a bit above the target range of 9-11 year old kids. Something about the overly wordy nature of the text makes this book read sluggishly. My reluctant readers, in particular, may be drawn to the plot and the cover, but I doubt they will make it to far into the story.
Ultimately, this book is just not my personal style, but I totally get the appeal.
For libraries: If you have fans of Book 1, you should definitely consider adding this your collection.
