Abarat 1 and 2

Book One: The First Book of Hours

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.

Books Two: Days of Magic, Nights of War

Candy Quackenbush's adventures in the amazing world of the Abarat are getting more strange by the hour. Christopher Carrion, the Lord of Midnight, has sent his henchman to capture her. Why? she wonders. What would Carrion want with a girl from Minnesota? And why is Candy beginning to feel that the world of Abarat is familiar to her? Why can she speak words of magic she doesn't even remember learning? There is a mystery here. And Carrion, along with his fiendish grandmother Mater Motley, suspects that whatever Candy is, she could spoil their plans to take control of the Abarat. Now Candy's companions must race against time to save her from the clutches of Carrion, and she must solve the mystery of her past before the forces of Night and Day clash and Absolute Midnight descends upon the islands. A final war is about to begin. And Candy is going to need to make some choices that will change her life forever....
