I have recently read Artemis Fowl The Artic Incident. Its is about a 13 year old boy whos father was lost at sea in Russia when he agreed to ship cola but the gang from russia changed there minds. As 2 years passed Young Artemis never gave up hope and had been running a search team to look for his father. For funding he ran his fathers buissnes of the gang making and stealling money. Artemis was a master mind, sadly a criminal one. Many therapists tried to get through to Artemis but fail and ended up quiting. Eventualy one made a breakthrough Dr.po. He stated Artemis' problem was his father. But just as the break through occured his butler called with news about the search.... They had found something important.

The Eoin Colfer book that i read was 'The Wish List'.
It is about a girl called Meg.She has done some bad things in her life but she isn't completley bad.When she dies at the young age of fourteent,the Heaven and Hell bosses can't decide weather to put into heaven or hell.So she is sent back to certify her own future by helping the man she terrorised just before her death.Still dead of course and only visible to the old man.She has got to help him to complete things off of his wish list.By doing this she gets blue streaks in her aura.When it is completley blue she can go to heaven.But The boss of hell wants Meg as his assistant because in his eyes she is the perfect sidekick smart,and great ideas on how to people suffer.So he sends someone well something to make the concept of her going to heaven alot more distant.
This book was o.k but personaly after about 120 pages it got a bit boring.
