What to read after Artemis Fowl

If like me you loved Artemis Fowl and his adventures and are bummed out that the series has ended then you will be glad to know that there is something to continue your reading experience. Eoin Colfer continues his excellent, fast-paced storytelling with the W.A.R.P  series.  Currently, there are three books in the series.  In the first, we meet Riley a Victorian orphan who is sucked to the twentieth century when he accompanies his master Albert Garric, assassin-for-hire on a job.  Their mark was in the F.B.I Witness Anonymous Relocation Programme, under which witnesses were placed in the past to protect them. Riley ends up with Chevie Savano, a sixteen-year-old, who worked with the F.B.I as an official source of intelligence.  She and Riley end up running from Garrick through time and saving the world. I enjoyed reading this and would recommend it to all teens who love adventure and science fiction. Happy reading.
