It is about a 12-year-old criminal, Artemis Fowl II, and his plan to restore his family’s fortune. In Artemis Fowl, Colfer uses Artemis Fowl II, the protagonist, and two minor characters, Mulch Diggums and Briar Cudgeon, to demonstrate the theme that greedy people will do anything to get what they want.

Artemis’s father, Artemis the first, “had thrown the family’s fortune into jeopardy.” (21) This means that the Fowls “billionaire status was no longer theirs.” (21) and it was up to Artemis to help restore his family’s fortune. “Artemis Fowl has devised a plan to restore his family’s fortune. A plan that could topple civilizations and plunge the planet into a cross-species war.” (1) During the process, he kidnaps Captain Holly Short from the LEPrecon headquarters.
