About The Fowl Twins
Myles and Beckett Fowl are eleven-year-old twins -- and Artemis Fowl's much younger brothers -- who are almost comically mismatched: Myles is a fastidious, hyper-logical genius who wears a bow tie and speaks like a tiny professor, while Beckett is chaotic, feral, and communicates largely through sound effects. When the fairy world's magical convict escort goes wrong and dumps a dangerous shapeshifting fugitive on the Fowl family's doorstep, the twins are pulled into exactly the kind of fairy-adjacent crisis their older brother used to handle -- except without Artemis's criminal genius or LEPrecon backup to rely on.
Eoin Colfer returns to the Fowl family and fairy-world mythology he built across eight Artemis Fowl novels, but shifts the comic register: where Artemis was a scheming antihero slowly growing a conscience, Myles and Beckett are goofier, younger, and more openly a double act, closer to slapstick buddy comedy than heist thriller. The fairy politics, LEP operatives, and magical technology of the original series carry over, giving longtime fans a familiar world seen through a very different lens.
It's a natural next stop for Artemis Fowl readers who want more time in Colfer's fairy-world setting with a lighter, sillier tone and a new generation of Fowls at the center.
