321donecover-2503… 2… 1… Done! is the story of Tony Boukis, a Grade 6 student at Green Oaks Primary School. He’s on the football team, loves solving Rubik’s cubes, and generally enjoys school. However, he has a problem. His younger brother, George, has been ill for some time, and Tony is sure he’s faking it. That is until George is diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome or ME/CFS. Tony sets out to find out what he can about his brother’s illness and then decides to use his Rubik’s cube to do something to help.

This story was inspired by a true story and is the first book to feature a speedcuber.
