The spheres have been bridged together. Already-broken stories are bleeding into each other and causing chaos. But before they can try to fix it all, Novem XVII must find Laramie and Frank, who are lost in the spheres and fighting to get home.

In The Restitching of Camille DuLaine, Lindsay A. Franklin delivers a stunningly satisfying conclusion to the Rivenlea Sphere duology that began with The Unraveling of Emlyn DuLaine. Dropping into rabbit holes and flying into waterfalls, Emlyn and her friends find familiar stories gone awry. But through them all, many themes stand true—sacrifice, selflessness, and mercy. Franklin tackles these important ideas with grace and signature humor, with frequent nods to the biblical gospel.

Best for: Teens and adult who enjoy portal fantasy with unique, relatable characters.
