Artemis Fowl and the Atlantis Complex - Author Eoin Colfer

Can the world’s youngest criminal mastermind save the day — when he no longer trusts his own mind?
In this thrilling seventh book of the Artemis Fowl series, something is deeply wrong with Artemis. His brilliance is clouded by paranoia, his behaviour erratic, and his once razor-sharp mind is under siege by the Atlantis Complex, a psychological condition affecting fairies and humans alike.

When disaster strikes the underwater fairy city of Atlantis, it’s clear the world needs the old Artemis back — calculating, ruthless and in control. But can he overcome his fractured mind in time to help… or will someone else have to step in?

Why we, and schools, love it:

• Mental health meets magic: Introduces themes of anxiety and identity in a fantasy context.
• High-stakes action: Keeps readers engaged with twists, technology, and underwater drama.
• Develops character depth: Shows the evolution of Artemis from villain to complex hero.

Other Artemis Fowl books we recommend:

• Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox (Book 6)
• Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardian (Book 8, series finale)
