Artemis has committed his entire fortune to a project he believes will save the planet and its inhabitants, both human and fairy. Can it be true? Has goodness taken hold of the world’s greatest teenage criminal mastermind? Captain Holly Short is unconvinced, and discovers that Artemis is suffering from Atlantis Complex, a psychosis common among guilt-ridden fairies - not humans - and most likely triggered by Artemis’s dabbling with fairy magic. Symptoms include obsessive-compulsive behavior, paranoia, multiple personality disorder and, in extreme cases, embarrassing professions of love to a certain feisty LEPrecon fairy. Unfortunately, Atlantis Complex has struck at the worst possible time. A deadly foe from Holly’s past is intent on destroying the actual city of Atlantis. Can Artemis escape the confines of his mind – and the grips of a giant squid – in time to save the underwater metropolis and its fairy inhabitants? New York Times best-selling author Eoin Colfer delivers a knockout, fast-paced, and hilarious adventure in Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex, the seventh book in the blockbuster series.

Eleven-year-old Juniper Lane knows that Santa has not been seen in years, but she only wants one thing this Christmas: to celebrate the Santa Vigil in Cedar Park to honor her late father. But when her mother suddenly goes missing and the park’s grumpy director cancels the vigil, Juniper’s holiday spirit is crushed. Desperate for help, she turns to Niko, a mysterious woodsman living in the park. When Niko accidentally reveals his magical powers, expert toy-making skills, and flying reindeer, Juniper realizes exactly who he is. But Niko insists he is not Santa anymore and flat-out refuses to help. With time running out and her mother still missing, Juniper realizes that if Santa will not save the day, she will just have to find her own magic and fly the sleigh herself! Packed with heart, humor, and holiday cheer, this wild adventure proves that the spirit of Christmas is always within reach.
