The Fowl Twins by Eoin Colfer
5.0
I received an ARC from NetGalley of this title in exchange for an honest review.
"Fowl and Fairy, friends forever..."
Get ready to get hit with nostalgia, because there's a new Fowl mud-boy making trouble for the officers of the Lower Elements Police. Worse, it's double-trouble.
Take one Artemis Fowl mini-me. Add one British nobleman who wants immortality. Throw in a dangerous nun. Then in comes a pixie-elf hybrid LEPrecon specialist.... who has no magic of her own. Put a very tiny troll into the mix. And then there's Beckett...
In the first in the sequel series to the phenomenal "Artemis Fowl" series, Myles and Beckett--the titular Fowl twins--find themselves getting involved in quite a magical fiasco, just as their older brother did at their age. Colfer's storytelling is still fantastic, and he does a marvelous job of telling Myles and Beckett's story in their voices--especially since it is very clear that the twins are complete opposites. (Though, admittedly, similar in many ways, too...)
Those who grew up reading Artemis Fowl, as I did, will love to return to see Myles and Beckett all grown-up and having their own adventures, while also enjoying the nods to the original story and characters. (Look, there's a quote about lollipops that about had me in stitches from laughing so hard.)
