Artemis Fowl (Book 1) – Eoin Colfer

A good start to a series that I know is already a winner with a bazillion readers. Recommended for readers who are after a bit of magic and fantasy mixed into a teen-spy-criminal type character with money to burn.

Tommy Black and the Coat of Invincibility (Tommy Black #2) – Jake Kerr

A nicely done story of a teenage boy learning to deal with a life that is full of surprises. Tommy Black is hero with heart and friends that are loyal and brave. Recommended for MG fans that like to be lost in magic and mystery.
