Beautifully Done submitted by rkm on July 16, 2012, 11:46am This is a beautiful story about a young girl who is struggling to get used to the fact that she is moving halfway around the world. She is very excited, but the family that she leaves behind is devastated. She learns many things over the course of a year, and eventually realizes that she can have two homes in two different places. Overall, I thought it was a great book.
