Twice upon a Time series.
Set in the year 2336, this absorbing science-fiction twist on the legend follows Robin, who lives on a spaceport, and Marian, who's from a barren, nature-less Earth. In search of King Richard, they crash-land in a medieval world with animals and plants--as well as Little John, Friar Tuck, and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Snappy alternating chapters give equal weight to Robin's and Marian's perspectives.

Twice upon a Time series.
To earn money for her family, twelve-year-old Beauty (who's anything but) is in search of a magical crystal; meanwhile, a witch transforms sensitive Prince Riley into a comically grotesque beast. A twist neatly merges the two plot lines. The setting is a medieval kingdom, but the affectionate duo is delightfully modern. Short chapters, alternately narrated by the two protagonists, keep the pace snappy.
