Artemis wants to help the fairies for all they’ve given him. No, really. He’s 14 now, starting to notice girls (!!) and feels he should give something back. So he starts tracking demons. See, way back when humans weren’t quite so strong, there was a war and all the fairy races went into hiding when they lost. The imps, worst of the fairies, had warlocks who zapped their whole island away to a place where time doesn’t move. They are breeding and growing strong, planning on coming back to take out the humans, very soon now. Artemis figures out how to find the ones who have escaped and are traveling through time. But so does Minerva – brilliant Minerva with adorable blonde curls – and she captures one first. So off we go on a typically funny and exciting Artemis adventure. By the way – Holly dies. But I’m not going to tell you what Artemis does about that! (Colorado Blue Spruce Young Adult Book Award Nominees 2007-2008) |
