4 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Unearthed, by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner (Unearthed #1) Teens in space! I saw this book described as such, "... with Indiana Jones and Lara Croft."

3.5 out of 5 starsA 3-star book with a 5-star twist. Goodreads.com: Sherwood, by Meagan SpoonerI love the Robin Hood legend.

3.5 out of 5 stars A Book 2 with more grit and less googly-eyed staring = +.25 stars. Goodreads.com: This Shattered World, by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner (Starbound #2) I love series that spin-off internally, then allow the characters from multiple books to encounter each other.
