From Book 1: Twelve-year-old Artemis is a millionaire, a genius-and above all, a criminal mastermind. But Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of the bedtime stories-they're dangerous!

Glad these are on sale, it's too bad that it's probably because of the joke of a movie adaption that Disney is about to release.
If you've read any of the books, you can see that the tone in the trailer is vastly different from the tone of the books, and that significant plot points have been changed to make it "Disneyfied". A shame, since it could have been something original.

and pandemic or not, having the movie switch from a theater release to a Disney + release is hardly a sign of confidence
edit- Interesting enough this new cover art makes one of the same mistakes the film is making, having the fairies look just basically like miniature humans with human proportions. Even the size is wrong, she's basically a short human at this point in some of the covers. Artemis is hardly a giant but he's 5'5" by Atlantis Complex
Another edit- Had no idea a sequel series started about Artemis' younger brothers called the Fowl Twins

The only good thing about the movie is it got my son very excited to read these. I'm hoping to finish the first book before it comes out next week. I don't know why they can never stick closer to the story with the movie adaptations.

These new covers are terrible. The original ones are still incredible, so why did they have to change them into these hideous pieces?
The new movie coming out based on the trailers actually looks awful, completely tonally different from the books, and a completely different interpretation of it all. There's a solid chance this will be a terrible adaptation. How could they screw up adaptations of excellent source material, like they did with Eragon?
