[Oz-teachers] Novel Study Artemis Fowl

[R Plim]

Hi Michelle,
I'm a big Artemis Fowl fan too. We got  all the series on tape from the 
local library and listened to it at home and in the car, my family 
loved it. That may be an option for the classroom, as the reader does 
an excellent job.
We have only just got the series at our small library, and I would love 
to get the class teachers introduced to Arty. Could you pass on any 
Fowl information that you receive so I can tempt the teachers.
Thank you in advance

Have a great day!
