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.Ĭandy 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. 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. When the answer comes, it’s not one she expects. There lives Candy Quackenbush, her heart bursting for some clue as to what her future might hold.


It begins in the most boring place in the world: Chickentown, U.S.A.
