Beyond the Far Horizon
Written by Carolyn Leiloglou; Illustrated by Vivienne To
A foe-turned-friend must learn to trust his new allies or risk losing his chance of finding a forever home in this thrilling conclusion of the award-winning Restorationists trilogy.
Ravi may be free from a life of crime and captivity, but he still feels trapped. Even though the Restorationists have welcomed him with open arms, he’s just not sure if he really belongs to this team.
While he’s agreed to help them infiltrate and bring down the nefarious Distortionists, Ravi keeps his escape plan—a stolen painting—close by in case things go south. But as the kids use their art-related Gifts to gain spots on the enemy’s heist team, new discoveries about his past have Ravi questioning his next move.
Can he risk trusting Vincent, Georgia, and the other Restorationists? Or is Ravi destined to always be on his own?

Praise for Beyond the Far Horizon
“The stakes are higher than ever—and the artwork all the more brilliant—as friends Ravi, Georgia, and Vincent race to defeat the Distortionists once and for all. Carolyn Leiloglou interweaves gripping action with aching poignancy in this finale to her highly imaginative series. Delight in this book as a read-aloud. Research the paintings with your kids. Most of all, linger over moments of grace in the story that point to the greatest Artist of all.”—Kathryn Butler, author of The Dream Keeper Saga
“Jump through famous paintings into a creative universe that takes readers into a secretive fourth dimension hidden behind the art, where a criminal underworld comes alive. Beyond the Far Horizon is a captivating adventure involving hostages, undercover agents, and a daring art heist that will keep you turning the pages.” —Marty Machowski, author of Dragon Seed and the Redemption Tales series
“What a fantastic gift to young readers this book is! A thrilling adventure that resonates powerfully with themes of hope, loyalty, and courage. Leiloglou finishes this series with a flourish, details combining wondrously, just as in the paintings she so lovingly introduces to her readers. I can’t imagine a more perfect middle-grade novel—smart plot, compelling characters, and richly explored themes.”—Glenn McCarty, author of the Tumbleweed Thompson Adventures
