Artemis Fowl extraordinaire, Eoin Colfer, and superstar illustrator Oliver Jeffers are both joining us on Saturday (24th October) morning at 10am to talk to YOU about their beautiful collaboration Imaginary Fred, plus any other questions you might be bursting to ask.

So get the DC involved and come and join us on Saturday or, if you can't make it on the day, post your and DC's questions on the thread below and check back later to see if they've been answered!

See you there!

Hello Eoin, I remember you coming into my school and reading to us from Artemis Fowl when it was a very new book (I still have my signed first edition on my bookcase!) Smile

Where did you get the idea to write the second story along the bottom of the pages from? My sister and I used to love working those out just as much as we loved the stories (my gnommish is very rusty now, but we used to write notes to each other using it).

Also, is their any chance of Airman being made into a film? I remember thinking it would be brilliant on a big screen when I first read it.

Oliver, I'm afraid I have bought Lost & Found about three times for various children because it makes me (childless cynic) cry when I read it in Waterstones. Which would be every time I'm in Waterstones. Are your prints available for sale anywhere? I love the look of the stuff in your new show.

Where did you get the ideas for Artemis Fowl? I'm just about to begin reading them with the DC & I'm hoping they'll love them as much as I do!
