Looking for a book about a boy child genius

[paranoidmother]

So yes that's about it DH knows no more, it might be part of a series. His colleague at work read it and recommended it and now he can't remember any more than that. So it's about a boy genius and it's part of a series. Now I'm hoping that you might be able to help me come up with the answer. Pretty Please

Artemis Fowl?

Perfect first time he says its right. Thank you

Sounds like the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer to me. Good series.

glad to help - it's a fun series.
