Spesso, quando a casa si sente oppresso e infelice, Tam scappa a rifugiarsi in una valle nascosta, tra le rovine della Fattoria Pensunpò. E un giorno, seguendo in mezzo a quei ruderi una vecchia stracciona e il suo cane, viene trasportato indietro nel tempo, all'epoca della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, quando la fattoria era ancora in piena attività. Là Tam fa amicizia con May, una strana bambina che, dopo aver trascorso una settimana sotto le macerie di una casa bombardata, si rifiuta di mangiare o dormire fra quattro mura. Allorché il ragazzo si caccia nei guai in quel mondo così simile eppure così diverso dal suo, sarà May a salvarlo, ma Tam non vuole rimanere con lei: ha troppa paura di trovarsi imprigionato per sempre nel passato... Riuscirà, prima o poi, a tornare nel suo tempo? E lui e la sua amica potranno mai incontrarsi di nuovo?

Artemis Fowl II is the son of a European crime lord, Artemis Senior. At the beginning of the book, his father has disappeared, along with the family’s fortune, and as a result his mother has gone into a catatonic state. Along with his friend and bodyguard Butler, Fowl discovers the existence of fairies and in order to capture one, decodes their Book. He eventually manages to capture LEPrecon officer Captain Holly Short, whom he then proceeds to hold hostage for money. LEPrecon Commander Julius Root soon finds out, and leads an attack against the “Mud Man” what the fairies refer to humans as in order to take Holly back. To do this, they recruit the fabulously flatulent dwarf Mulch Diggums, to tunnel into Fowl Manor. However, Fowl remains ahead of the posse and manages to escape unharmed. The desperate fairies attempt to stop time and “blue rinse” Fowl’s house (which works like an atomic bomb) except that it only affects living beings. However, Fowl notices that his mother has, because of her condition, escaped the stop. He uses some of her sleeping pills to escape, to the surprise of the fairies. Artemis gets to keep the gold, which is actually a ransom fund for the LEPrecon, but exchanges half of it in order to revive his mother….. By now you have the idea and can see why this innovative piece of children’s literature has been called…“Sort of like James Bond, Encyclopaedia Brown, and Grimms all rolled up in one. Highly entertaining.” and “a roller coaster of a plot introducing a host of high jinks and high-tech weaponry blending derring-do with snappy prose, memorable characters, and sly humour . . ... a crackling read.”
