Shades of Doon

Shades of Doon by Carey Corp & Lorie Langdon, 2015 Blink

     Veronica Welling has committed herself to enjoying life. With the help of her best friend McKenna Reid and her fiance Jamie MacCrae, Vee throws herself into enjoying every moment. When Kenna and Vee are yanked back into the modern world they find themselves back home - McKenna in Chicago and Veronica at her mom's house.
     Without money or clothes the girls are stranded, without their cell phones they are unaware the other is been dragged out of Doon. When Kenna manages to make contact the girls team up and work to find a way back home.
     In the meantime Vee must deal with her high school tormentor. Stephanie appears to enjoy trying to take Veronica down a peg: using a disliked nickname, belittling her, reminding her that Vee's boyfriend cheated with Stephanie. At a class function - something between prom and a class reunion - Veronica finally puts her tormentor in her place with Jamie's support.
     Friendship and teamwork, and the MacCrae brothers, lead the two young women back home to Doon. They hope to discover how the Witch of Doon ejected them from the country and prevent it from happening again. Teenaged readers will identify with the girls' struggle through modern high school politics, even after high school. Shades of Doon continues the story of two young women who have found where they belong through the relationships which support them both independently and together.
