Kidnapped!
The kidnappers are actually her Aunt Sandy and Uncle Max, but that
doesn't matter to Domenica Santolina Doone, better known as Dinnie. She
feels as if she's being taken out of the country against her will.
Certainly no one asked her opinion. Dinnie is used to change-with her
family constantly moving from state to state while her father searches
for one new "opportunity" after another. But when her aunt and uncle
whisk her away to an international school in Lugano, Switzerland, Dinnie
feels that this might be one "opportunity"that isn't right for her.
Suddenly Dinnie's surrounded by kids from many different cultures,
backgrounds, and beliefs. Home, and her first life, seem so far away.
Can she adapt to a new country, a new home, and new friends? Or will it
just be easier to close herself off-just survive-and never realize all
the "bloomabilities" that are possible?
