Vatnajokull, Iceland
Vatnajokull is the biggest glacier in Europe, with an area of more than five thousand stark blue-white miles. It is for the most part, uninhabited and desolate and, for scientific reasons, the perfect place for Artemis Fowl to demonstrate to the Fairy People how exactly he planned to save the world.
I think this is a great beginning - a good way to grab a new reader's attention. This is book six in the series. Colfer does include a prologue to give a little background to someone who has not read any of the previous books. However, having read all the previous books, I recommend you start with book one.
The Chinook Trail library has copies of this series in the collection. If you are looking for a good read for Spring Break, you might want to check out this series.
I've heard great things about Artemis Fowl! Sounds interesting!
