Artemis Rocks! with Eoin Colfer

What middle schoolers don't love the idea of a young teenage criminal mastermind? The answer: very few! Those books have fun, over-the-top silliness and all of the James Bond-style gadgets that you could dream of, contained in a 'tween-friendly plot. They are fun, fast-paced, and utterly escapist.

That's why series like Artemis Fowl have such a strong following. And here's the great news: author Eoin Colfer will be at the Bagdad Theater in Portland this Saturday, Sept. 18, giving a show called Artemis Rocks! Catch Mr. Colfer's monologue, enjoy a first time EVER interview with Artemis Fowl himself, and get your copy of the newest book signed. Doors open at 1:45pm and the show starts at 2pm.

This event is free of charge and seating is open on a first-come, first-served basis. Courtesy of Powell's Books. Check out their website for more details!
