Once upon a world   where time is place     a journey beyond imagination   is about to unfold....

IT BEGINS IN THE MOST boring place in the world: Chickentown, U.S.A. There lives Candy Quackenbush her heart bursting for some clue as to what her future might hold. When the answer comes, it's not one she expects. Welcome to Abarat. Candy Quackenbush from Chickentown, U.S.A., is about to embark on an epic journey that will change her boring life forever. Fate thrusts her over the magical threshold of a forgotten world, and she begins her adventure by diving from a barren field in Minnesota into the enormous Sea of Izabella. From there she is swept to the twenty-five islands of the ABARAT, a world like nothing she has ever seen...or has she? Candy encounters sorcery, mystery, and fantastical characters - both friends and foe - as she tries to piece together why she has come to this place, and why the evil Lord Carrion desperately wants to track her down. Rich, wild, and unpredictable — by turns tragic and comical — Clive Barker's Abarat is a story that will capture the imaginations of all readers, offering a limitless landscape to visit and revisit. Includes over 100 full -color paintings by Clive.
