I'm so happy and lucky to have been able to read an earc of this book and I'm so in love with it!
Thank you so much, Disney Publishing Worldwide and Disney-Hyperion, for the chance to read this book!

Myles and Beckett borrow the family jet without permission and they and their fairy friend Lazuli risk their lives when the jet is tracked and exploded. So Artemis senior, Angeline and the fairy police force decide to ground them. But who tracked the Fowl jet and why? Who drugged and kidnapped Lazuli, almost killing her? When Myles is abducted and replaced with a copy, Beckett and Lazuli decide it's time to rescue Myles, find some answers.
They find themselves involved in dwarves' plans, covered in spit, shot at and in deep underground lairs.

I loved reading this book! The author's writing style is, as always, amazing, hilarious, full of flashforwards, hints, jokes and explanations.
The characterization is wonderful and both Beckett and Myles are forced to swap their natural predispositions, Beckett doing mind work and Myles with physical activitites. It was a pleasure reading about their adventures, jokes, plans, laughing with them, worrying about them and smiling. Their relationship, their bond is so pure and intense, I love reading about it, how they support, love and help each other, how they completely trust one other.
Lazuli is an amazing character, with her peculiar and unknown magic, finding herself always involved with the Fowl twins' plans and adventures and their relationship is so precious I loved reading their interactions.

It was fun reading about Artemis Senior and Angeline in the role of concerned parents, role we didn't see in the previous books, both because Artemis was taken care of by Butler, both because the relationships between parents and sons were very different.
I loved seeing Artemis' and Holly's references in the book, I miss their relationship so much. Deny all charges is a wonderful book, full of plot twists, jokes, complex and intense characters (new and old), enemies (new and old), plans, unsuccessful and successful ones, family, friendships and adventures.


The quotes are from the earc, so they can be subject to changes.

"To a simpler time when it was just Artemis and me against the world" I miss these moments too, Holly XD

"Unfortunately for him, Beckett Fowl specialized in the preposterous, had a degree in the ridiculous and was a doctor in the unbelievable"

"But if I died, the world would be denied my genius and would end several centuries ahead of schedule as result."

I loved this book so much, it's brilliant and funny and I loved everything in it. I can't wait to see what will happen next!

Eoin Colfer continues to engage young readers with adventure and storytelling magic. I loved this trek into a new series by an author who is consistent and whose books always have a place on my classroom shelf. May the adventure continue.

All the students who love Artemis Fowl will like this spin-off series, as well. Even my older kids will like it, I think.
