The Doon

By Lorie Langdon and Carey Corp

Book Overview

Haunted by waking visions of a blond boy in a kilt, Veronica can't decide if she's more eager to flee her recent messy breakup or join her best friend on a trip to Scotland in hopes of finding a real-life version of her imaginary Highland crush. But one thing leads to the next as the girls discover the enchanted world of Doon, and the curse that is tearing it apart.

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. When Veronica and Mackenna settle into their cottage in Alloway, they 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 blond, kilted boy from Veronica's visions. But Doon has a dark secret that threatens everything. The two girls could have all they've longed for ... or they could end up trapped on the wrong side of the Brig o' Doonforever in a world that is quickly becoming a nightmare.

Customer Reviews

This book changed my life.

This book is amazing! Amazing story, characters, plot, and just fantastically written! I first read this series in 5th grade when I got it at my Scholastic book fair, and I have been in love with the series ever since. This book really made me want to start reading and I can't thank the authors enough for that. In this book we follow Veronica and Mackenna through this amazing journey, but not only does the story develope through the series, so does their friendship, and their friendships with everyone else, it's really a beautiful thing to see get to experience. I suggest this series to anyone 10-11+! Great read, and highly recommend it!💙
