Artemis figures out how to escape, which impresses the fairies and they decide he can keep the gold they got.
With this book, I do not see a reason why I would use it in my classroom as part of a lesson. However, I could use it as a recommendation for a child who enjoys graphic novels. I think the age group is appropriate for 4th - 5th because it has some scenes that are for more mature audiences but I think they would be mature for it.
