Artemis Fowl: The Seventh Dwarf

Artemis Fowl: The Seventh Dwarf is a short story in the Artemis Fowl series of books. It was published for World Book Day 2004.

Plot

In the series chronology, The Seventh Dwarf takes place between Artemis Fowl and Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident. Artemis sets Mulch Diggums to steal the Fei Fei tiara. Holly Short catches Artemis with the tiara but he manages to swap the priceless blue diamond for a fake. In the end the reader dicovers Artemis stole the diamond because its colour reminded him of his father's eyes. He gives the diamond to his mother as a present, and promises her he will find his father. This is one of the few acts of kindness Artemis shows in the series.
