Artemis Fowl
I've started reading the Artemis Fowl books by Eoin Colfer this year. I'm steadily working my way through the series and I'm thoroughly enjoying them. Yes, they're children's books but they're also fun and highly entertaining.
I've just finished the fourth book in the series, Here we are, all mind-wiped and uncertain, everything under and above ground going crazy all at once, but still the heroic group pulls together to fight yet another battle. And quite the group at that: 14-year-old Artemis, his behemoth bodyguard Butler, the dwarf-thief Mulch Diggums, and the ever-fiesty fairy, Holly Short.
This book may have been the best of the series yet - with the missing memories and an unbelievable scenario taking place, the excitement was high. And instead of just sinister plots and attempts to survive, in this story we also get friendships forming, and personalities shaping. And of course the leanred-the-hard-way lessons: you can never be anyone but who you are, and be careful what you wish for, you might not like it when it comes true.
I'm definitely looking forward to reading book five, The Lost Colony
