Thank you netgalley, the publisher, and the author!

As with the first book the second in the series was just as great. I love the whole concept of their gifts having to do with saving and protecting art because I believe art is so important. This book was told from Georgia's point of view and with her having feelings of not being good enough and being jealous of Vincent's in her opinion better gift. I'm excited for the third book to be released.

Carolyn Leiloglou's second installment in the Restorationists series, "Between Flowers and Bone," is a remarkable continuation of the captivating journey that began in the first book. The sequel delves deeper into the rich tapestry of art and the secretive protectors who safeguard it. This portal fantasy features a homeschooled preteen girl grappling with the internal struggles of welcoming a new teammate into her family's secretive adventures as Restorationists.
The storyline is fast-paced yet thoughtfully explores complex issues such as forgiveness, redemption, identity, and the power of community. Leiloglou has crafted a tale that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, ensuring that readers, whether enjoying it as a family read-aloud or as a preteen reading independently, will eagerly await the next chapter in this impressive series.

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?
We are waiting for the next level of this Restorationists theme of this book.

This was a fantastic addition to "The Restorationists" series. The plot was well-paced and captivating from start to finish. The characters were well-developed; complex, and intriguing. I highly recommend this beautiful and wholesome story. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

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!

This was a great sequel in the Restorationists series, it had that feel that I enjoyed from the first book and thought it worked with the world that was created. I enjoyed going back into this world and getting back to these characters. I enjoyed how good Carolyn Leiloglou wrote this and left me wanting to read more.
