Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident, Graphic Novel

Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident (Graphic Novel) (Artemis Fowl, #2) Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident by Eoin Colfer


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is exactly what I was looking for for one of my students. He loves fantasy and cartoon, so this graphic novel is perfect. There's enough to keep non readers engaged and the book is complex enough for students who would like to read on to borrow the whole series.
