Some Eoin Colfer books...

Half-Moon Investigations

Half-Moon Investigations reminded me of the old black and white investigator movies. 12 year old Fletcher Moon aka Half-Moon has always wanted to be a detective and has finally earned his detectives badge, his price for investigating is usually chocolate. However his first real case come along when April pays him to find a missing lock of hair from a rock star. April is accusing the Sharky's, all of whom are known criminals. The investigation begins to go bad and soon Fletcher is being accused of burning down a playhouse. Fletcher is forced to go into hiding with the Sharky family and work with Red to try and clear both their names. Its is a funny and fast paced story that I would like to see more of.


Atremis Fowl The Lost Colony

The Lost Colony continues the adventures of Artemis fowl and Holly Short. Holly has been working as a private investigator since leaving the LEPrecon. Soon however a situation arises that calls her and her partner, Mulch Diggums, back into service for The People. It seems the tunnel that keeps the demons living on a different plane is deteriorating, Artemis and and mysterious girl seem to be showing up whenever there is a demon appearance. Artemis and Holly are soon working together to find out who the girl is and why the demons are being pulled back into their time. This is adventure brings back all the familiar characters and is one that keeps moving, it does not disappoint.
