This book was enjoyable. It was clearly a kids book so I don’t really have anything that deep to say about it. Fun and fine.

I only read 175 pages or so. This really wasn't my cup of tea. Humans were referred to as "mud people" and everything they do is terrible. Lots of references to pollution and chemicals. I don't appreciate political agendas especially in kids books.

A nice quick read. Very distinct and crisp narrative voice. I'm sure the series gets better as it goes along, but I'm not sure I'm hooked enough to go out of my way to find book 2.

I read this book with my student book club and they loved it. In my opinion, Artemis seems like an arrogant little boy that sadly doesn’t have parental guidance. He’s left to his own the devices and this causes him to think he can do anything he wants. He met his match in Holly, the fairy LEP agent. He might have won this first round, but I think he’ll get what he deserves as the series continues.
