This is the second in the Artemis Fowl series. Artemis needs to save his father, but he can't do it without the help of the fairies. His grand plan isn't so much a criminal one this time, and of course he has good intentions. It's fun to see him growing up, although I'm sure younger readers don't/won't feel that way when they read it! I enjoyed the first book more, at least partly because a criminal/hero/child was a fresh concept in a children's book for me. The second book is after that plot device has already been established, and Artemis Fowl is less of a criminal as well, so those are both drawbacks for me in the entertainment area, even if I'm happier for Artemis Fowl to be less evil!
This is another appropriate book, although there is discussion of violence and harm to Artemis's father. It is appropriate for all readers.
