DOON…
Veronica
doesn't think she's going crazy. But why can't anyone else see the
mysterious blond boy who keeps popping up wherever she goes? When her
best friend, Mackenna, invites her to spend the summer in Scotland,
Veronica jumps at the opportunity to leave her complicated life behind
for a few months.
But the Scottish countryside holds other plans.
Not
only has the imaginary kilted boy followed her to Alloway, she and
Mackenna uncover a strange set of rings and a very unnerving letter from
Mackenna's great aunt—and when the girls test the instructions Aunt
Gracie left behind, they find themselves transported to a land that
defies explanation. Doon seems like a real-life fairy tale, complete
with one prince who has eyes for Mackenna and another who looks
suspiciously like the boy from Veronica's daydreams. But Doon has a dark
underbelly as well. The two girls could have everything they've longed
for...or they could end up breaking an enchantment and find themselves
trapped in a world that has become a nightmare.
DOON is loosely
based on the premise of the musical Brigadoon, with permission from the
Alan Jay Lerner Estate and the Frederick Loewe Foundation. Follow the
