"Artemis Fowl" by Eoin Colfer


The Fowls have always been using some sort of dastardly tricks in order to gain money. Artemis Fowl the second is no exception. After his father died, or went missing as Artemis believes, Artemis's mother went a little looney. As in, she sees and hears things that aren't there and replays moments of when her husband was alive. Artemis didn't exactly believe in fairies or any of that for a while, but something got him thinking. Pots of gold. He decided to test his theory, knowing that goblins and trolls were real. He finally landed something. He and his butler, Butler, went out to find such a fairy that would give him the money that he wanted. This turned out to be a success. Holly Short, a LEPrecon officer, went out to regain her fairy powers from not doing so in a long time. She found a nice desolate spot and, before she knew it, she was Artemis's captive. After being sedated and detained in the Fowl manor the other fairies found out, especially her commanding officer, Root, who was not happy whatsoever. In a chat with Commander Root, Artemis said if he got the gold he wanted he would let Holly go free. Root accepted, but one of the other fairies almost ruined his plan. Almost. Holly still lived and Artemis was still alive, along with his butler, and they got the gold they wanted. Holly didn't want Artemis hurt so she tried to talk him out of taking the gold, fairies would do anything for their gold. Artemis finally let Holly go free, along with half the gold he got from the delivery. The fairies decided to kill everyone inside the manor so they could get back their gold and make sure that someone as dangerous as Artemis Fowl would never do that kind of thing to the fairies ever again. But Artemis found a way to live, he drugged himself, his butler, and his butler's sister so they would sleep, that way the "blue rinse" would not kill them. The fairies were amazed. Artemis was relieved.

"Lifting the Sky" by Mackie d'Arge


Ever since her dad left the familywhen she was small, 12-year-old Blue has continually moved from place to place with her ranch-hand mother. Finally, Blue can hardly believe her luck - her mom has been hired to manage the ranch of Blue's dreams - the house and mountains even match a drawing that Blue once drew. In short order, Blue acquires a pair of orphaned calves to take for, a friend from the neighboring reservation, and the strange and wonderful ability to see the auras - the colors, lights, and energies - given off by all living things. Blue begins to realize her special talents might actually enable her to find her place in the world when she learns she can manipulate the auras to help heal injuries. Blue's "dream-come-true" is threatened, however, when her and her mother's past starts to catch up with them.
I'll probably never live on an isolated ranch in Wyoming, but after reading this book, I think I have a good idea what it would be like. I love the ability of some authors who create characters so real and believable that one feels one can actually go track them down for a good visit. Blue is such an appealing character, one can't help but hope that things work out for her. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves animals and nature, or who is wondering about their own place in the world. Plus, who couldn't use a little virtual vacation in the mountains of Wyoming?
I'd rate this book FIVE out of FIVE stars.
