The Fowl twins
(Book)

Eleven-year-old twins Miles and Beckett Fowl enjoy adventure and mayhem while helping a troll escape nefarious forces that want his magic.--,Provided by Publisher.

One week after their eleventh birthday, the Fowl twins-- scientist Myles, and Beckett, the force of nature-- befriend a troll who has clawed his way through the earth's crust to the surface. Unfortunately the troll is being chased by a nefarious nobleman and an interrogating nun, who both need the magical creature for their own gain, as well as a fairy-in-training who has been assigned to protect him. As the trio get shot at, kidnapped, buried, arrested, threatened and killed (temporarily), they discover that the strongest bond in the world is not the one forged by covalent electrons in adjacent atoms, but the one that exists between a pair of twins. -- adapted from jacket
