Twin Fowls = double the adventure

I chose to read this book because my son enjoyed the Artemis Fowl series so much. I hadn't not read the series but he was excited that a new avenue was opening up so I decided it was time for me to take the leap! And what a leap! With the bad guys belonging to a group whose acronym is ACRONYM or a villain named Lord Teddy Bleedham-Drye, I quickly realized I was dealing with a quirky and humorous story. Add to that Myles and Beckett, two twins that are the most untwinlike twins I've ever read about. I can easily see how relatable this series can be for any young person with or without a sibling they like or dislike. Something for everyone! And then the fairies and trolls were introduced! While I worried that this would go the way of a more fantasy-driven book, it kept very much in the tweener-aged adventure genre with the mythical creatures adding just a bit of fun and unpredictability. I'm glad to see a second book is in the works. I may not go back and read the Artemis Fowl series, but I definitely want to keep up with his twin brothers' adventures!
