Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer, is one of those series I have been meaning to read for a while. I actually started reading the first book a few years ago, but for some reason it didn't hold my interest and I never finished it. I'm glad I gave the book another chance, though, because I really liked it.
Colfer describes his 12-year-old main character, Artemis Fowl, as a "pale adolescent speaking with the authority and vocabulary of a powerful adult." Artemis seems like a combination Sherlock Holmes/James Bond, and the first book is fast-paced and very clever. I will certainly recommend this series to kids who enjoy the spy/thriller genre.
