I was a Matilda-OBSESSED as a kid. The one who loved watching a clever child run rings round the grown-ups while they didn&#8217;t even know what was happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s the same itch Artemis Fowl scratches. Matilda runs rings round her parents and the Trunchbull. Artemis does it to an entire armed fairy police force, and narrates the whole thing in a dry, too-cool-for-school voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if your child has just finished the lot and is now staring at the shelf, you&#8217;re in the right place looking for <strong>books like Artemis Fowl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news? Most kids <em>usually <\/em>enjoy reading Artemis himself (not the fairies bit). His brain, the plans and how he finds it all slightly funny. And that combination turns up in plenty of other books (panic over).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve pulled together five with the clever heroes, the schemes and heists, a bit of myth or magic, and narrators who don&#8217;t take themselves too seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes a good after-Artemis Fowl book<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t need all of this in one book. But the ones that go down well after Artemis tend to have a couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A kid who&#8217;s the cleverest one in the room.<\/strong> A schemer, a genius, or the sort who can talk their way out of anything. If the hero isn&#8217;t a step ahead of the adults, an Artemis fan feels it straight away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A narrator who&#8217;s funny on purpose.<\/strong> Anything too soft or too fluffy after Eoin Colfer won&#8217;t go down well with an Artemis fan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stuff actually happening.<\/strong> Heists, near-misses, a plan falling apart at the worst moment. I&#8217;d steer clear of anything that stops for a chapter to describe a forest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Books to spare.<\/strong> Artemis is eight books deep. These readers don&#8217;t want a one-off, they want a stack they can disappear into for a month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Five books like Artemis Fowl to try next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Amulet of Samarkand \u2014 Jonathan Stroud<\/h3>\n\n\n<a class=\"lr-bookpill\" href=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/our-library\/bartimaeus-1-the-amulet-of-samarkand\/\" aria-label=\"View Bartimaeus 1 &#8211; The Amulet of Samarkand in the library\"><div class=\"lr-bookpill__cover\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"191\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1667496082142-191x300.jpeg\" class=\"lr-bookpill__cover-img\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1667496082142-191x300.jpeg 191w, https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1667496082142.jpeg 317w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"lr-bookpill__body\"><p class=\"lr-bookpill__title\">Bartimaeus 1 &#8211; The Amulet of Samarkand<\/p><div class=\"lr-bookpill__meta\"><span>Jonathan Stroud<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Age 11<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Fantasy<\/span><\/div><\/div><span class=\"lr-bookpill__chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&rsaquo;<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A boy magician gets publicly humiliated by a grown wizard, and decides the only reasonable response is to summon a 5,000-year-old djinni and rob him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nathaniel is a young magician&#8217;s apprentice in an alternate London run by wizards. A nasty wannabe called Simon Lovelace humiliates him in front of everyone, so Nathaniel decides on revenge and summons a 5,000-year-old djinni named Bartimaeus to help him steal a powerful amulet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Half the book is narrated by the djinni, Bartimaeus, who finds the whole scheme ridiculous. It&#8217;s the closest thing on this list to Artemis himself: a clever boy, a plan that gets away from him, and a sidekick rolling his eyes the whole way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Falcon&#8217;s Malteser \u2014 Anthony Horowitz<\/h3>\n\n\n<a class=\"lr-bookpill\" href=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/our-library\/the-falcons-malteser\/\" aria-label=\"View The Falcon&#8217;s Malteser in the library\"><div class=\"lr-bookpill__cover\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1660131082887-196x300.jpeg\" class=\"lr-bookpill__cover-img\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1660131082887-196x300.jpeg 196w, https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1660131082887.jpeg 326w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"lr-bookpill__body\"><p class=\"lr-bookpill__title\">The Falcon&#8217;s Malteser<\/p><div class=\"lr-bookpill__meta\"><span>Anthony Horowitz<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Age 9<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Mystery<\/span><\/div><\/div><span class=\"lr-bookpill__chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&rsaquo;<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dwarf walks into the office of Tim Diamond, the world&#8217;s worst private detective, and leaves a package.
