Puffin Books The Supernaturalist
Taking a break from his wildly successful <I>Artemis Fowl</I> series, Eoin Colfer delivers another punchy, superbly readable novel with all of the trademark qualities that have earned him so many fans. <I>The Supernaturalist</I> is inventive, dramatic, delicately witty and positively hip. <p> Satellite City, a vast twenty-five million people plus satellite-controlled metropolis in the third millennium, is home to Cosmo Hill. This 14-year-old orphan, a no sponsor, inhabits--or rather survives in--an orphanage called the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys. There are only three ways out of such a miserable establishment: adoption, death or escape. The average life expectancy is 15 years. Cosmo has a year left. At best. <p> When his chance comes to escape during a transportation crash, Cosmo grabs it and flees into the unknown city. But he is tracked by a zealous guard and falls from a tall building. Accidentally, of course. As Cosmo's life force ebbs away, apparently sucked out by a strange blue parasite, he is rescued by a motley crew of kids. They're on a mission, and Cosmo is drafted in to help them. It's a whole new dangerous beginning…<p> Colfer has carved out a funky little genre all on his own: he writes exciting adventures that are funny and futuristic, page-turning and realistic. They're not fantasy, but his books are fantastical. They've got a bit of magic about them, without being overtly magical in the <I>Harry Potter</I> sense. <p> <I>Artemis Fowl</I> has been described as <i>Die Hard</i> with fairies. <I>The Supernaturalist</I> is heralded as <I>The Matrix</I> meets <I>Ghostbusters</I> ;. Colfer has a golden touch at the moment and this is another priceless nugget. Suitable for ages 10 and over. --<I>John McLay</I>
