Synopsis

In a world where paintings become portals and adventure lurks behind every canvas, the young Restorationists discover that every Gift was made to fight the darkness in the second novel of the thrilling series from the award-winning author of Beneath the Swirling Sky.

“Plenty of fast-paced action [with] a gentle feel . . . a sweet and thoroughly researched story with a firm moral grounding.”—Kirkus Reviews

Twelve-year-old Georgia assumed she would one day be the last Restorationist protecting art from evil forces. So she was thrilled when her cousin Vincent finally joined the family calling.

But Vincent’s flashier Gift makes Georgia feel like a sidekick rather than a hero. And things only get more complicated and perilous after he willingly steps into the heart of danger.

Will the remnants of the Restorationists’ society fracture under the pressure of the Distortionists’ schemes? Or is Georgia’s Gift really enough to rescue her family, the art world, the Restorationists—and ultimately save the day?

Awwww! I love Georgia so much!!πŸ’– Language: N/A. Violence: Some action. Mentions of characters we've never met dying in the past.

Goodreads review by Tori on May 27, 2024

It’s not very often in recent literature that we get stories about homeschooled children. As someone who was homeschooled for a large majority of my schooling I found it refreshing and a blessing to see or read someone who has to a certain level my own experiences. The world has made their own opini......more

A terrific book two in the creative Restorationists series, with art as a portal for travel within the described paintings themselves. A gripping tale that enhances middle grade readers' appreciation for art and a great teaching tool for schools. Such fun!......more

Goodreads review by Gretchen on September 10, 2024

Despite my excitement about this new release, I keep telling people to be sure to read Beneath the Swirling Sky first before they read Between Flowers and Bones, since they are a series (and book two will be appreciated so much more if you have read book one first!). But unlike many series, the seco......more
