Tony has a problem – a problem called George, who happens to be his little brother, who happens to fake being sick. He’s so good at it, he doesn’t have to do chores or go to school.
But there is something about George… something that doesn’t feel right.
And what does Tony’s Rubik’s Cube and lightning fast fingers have to do with it?
A very fun and enjoyable read, for cubers and non-cubers alike!
Feliks Zemdegs, Rubik’s Cube World Champion
3… 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.
