Artemis Fowl, is it good for 8-9 year old? (self.fantasy)

Hi,

Has anyone here read Artemis Fowl series? Thinking about getting it for my kid. Was wondering if it is fine for 8-9 year old kid.

Also, any other recommendations? He loved Diary of the Wimpy Kid, but struggled to get into Harry Potter.

Thanks.

I agree - he has tons to read. There was one year (2020 maybe?) where I read anything with his name on it and pretty much only that.

I just finished Tress myself! I really enjoyed it as well.

I haven't read Alcatraz or Rhytmatist. I own Wizards Guide and have ordered Yumi but haven't read either.

The Blackthorn was Dalinars nickname - Rhythm of War wasn't my favourite (Word's of Radiance for me) but it was a fun read and classic sort of Sanderson pacing. Nice developments with some of the characters and the cosmere itself.

Second Era mistborn might be my favourite series he has written. Wayne is my absolute favourite. If you get a chance, the graphic audio books are really good.

Skyward and Reconers are good. Written for a younger crowd but lots of fun and interesting ideas in there.

It was! How did I forget that. I didn't read Rhythm of War as I wanted to re-read the whole series before the 5th book, so going to do that next year.

That's awesome - that's also my plan for 2024. I'm reading SA before SA5 comes out too. Have fun!
