Hi,

Has anyone here read Artemis Fowl series? Thinking about getting it for my kid. Was wondering if it is fine for 8-9 year old kid.

Also, any other recommendations? He loved Diary of the Wimpy Kid, but struggled to get into Harry Potter.

Thanks.

I read them quite a while ago, they felt more fun for YA than kids. Right?

I'd agree.

I read the Artemis Fowl books a good few years before Percy Jacksons, and they sat well with me.

I recall they could be somewhat graphic at times, so maybe check out some summaries before getting into each one, and space them out a bit?

Yeah, I am leaning towards reading them myself first. I love fantasy, so shouldn't be an issue.
