Between Flowers and Bones

By: Carolyn Leiloglou

Narrated by: Jennifer Jill Araya

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?

Georgia

Georgia seemed authentic and genuine. The pace was fast moving which made it easy to follow. I will recommend this book to my friends.

Creative

Love this series! The narrator did a great job and was easy to listen to, story is creative and suspenseful. Great introduction to Georgia O’Keeffe’s art for kids. You find yourself looking up what these paintings oiled like if you’re not already familiar with her work.
