Publisher's Note
It begins in the most boring place in the world: Chickentown, U.S.A. Candy Quackenbush lives in Chickentown, her heart bursting for some clue as to what her future might hold.
When the answer comes, it's not one she expects. Out of nowhere comes a wave, and Candy, led by a man called John Mischief (whose brothers live on the horns on his head), leaps into the surging waters and is carried away.
Where? To the ABARAT: a vast archipelago where every island is a different hour of the day, from the Great Head that sits in the mysterious twilight waters of Eight in the Evening, to the sunlit wonders of Three in the Afternoon, where dragons roam, to the dark terrors of Gorgossium, the island of Midnight, ruled over by the Prince of Midnight himself, Christopher Carrion.
As Candy journeys from one amazing place to another, making fast friends and encountering treacherous foes -- mechanical bugs and giant moths, miraculous cats and men made of mud, a murderous wizard and his terrified slave-she begins to realize something. She has been here before.
Candy has a place in this extraordinary world: she is here to help save the Abarat from the dark forces that are stirring at its heart. Forces older than Time itself, and more evil than anything Candy has ever encountered.
She's a strange heroine, she knows. But this is a strange world.
And in the Abarat, all things are possible.

Industry Reviews
"Barker gets big points for Candy, an unusually natural and winning heroine."
New York Times Book Review - Elizabeth Devereaux (11/14/2004)

" Abarat is not a book in which plot is paramount. Above all, this is a deeply lovely catalogue of the strange. Islands carved into colossal heads, giant moths made of coloured ether, words that turn into aeroplanes, tentacled maggot-monsters: they dance past like a carnival, a true surrender to the weird, vastly more inventive than the tired figures that visit some bespectacled boy-wizards. The joy is that all these imagined things are enthusiastically illustrated by Barker himself."
(10/19/2002)

    Abarat is a fresh new book full of color and imagination from the mind of Clive Barker. The book grabs you on the first page and will not let go. It takes you on a wild ride of adventure and fantasy, that leaves you breathless and wanting more. Barker does all of the art work in this novel and the pictures corelate so well with the writting that you can't put this book down. If you buy this book, get the hardcover and enjoy the vivid pictures that come along with the story. It might be labeled Young Adult but this is a story that will thrill even the most avid readers of all ages!

    This is a must read!
