With their brother, criminal virtuoso Artemis Fowl, away on a five-year mission to Mars, the younger Fowl children, 11- year-old twins Myles and Beckett, have been left alone at the Fowl family home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One day, the twins manage to accidentally get caught up in an interspecies dispute when a troll burrows out of the Earth\u2019s core right in front of Beckett\u2019s eyes! In the events that follow the boys are shot at, kidnapped, buried, arrested, threatened and even temporarily killed but, despite their differences, the twins find that there is no force stronger than the bond between them.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong>The Fowl Twins<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>features Eoin\u2019s trademark humour, prescient technological inventions and modern re-telling of fairy folklore.
