Reader reviews for Abarat

From the publisher

Clive Barker, author of The Thief of Always, delivers an epic battle filled with fantasy and adventure that readers won't want to put down!

A journey beyond imagination is about to unfold...

It begins in Chickentown, USA. 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 the Abarat, a vast archipelago where every island is a different hour of the day. Candy has a place in this extraordinary land: 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.

Don't miss this first book in Clive Barker's New York Times bestselling Abarat series. This is the mass market paperback edition.


But what happens when a girl from the most boring town in the world discovers she's destined to save the most magical one?


  • Portal Fantasy Adventure: Follows Candy Quackenbush as she escapes the boredom of Chickentown, USA, for a bizarre archipelago where every island is a different hour of the day.
  • An Unlikely Heroine: A strange world needs a strange heroine. Candy must uncover her own mysterious destiny if she's to save the Abarat from the Lord of Midnight.
  • Good vs. Evil on an Epic Scale: Candy stands against dark forces older than Time itself, led by the sinister Christopher Carrion and his monstrous servant, Mendelson Shape.
  • Surreal Creatures and Dark Magic: From a thief with seven extra heads on his antlers to villains conjured from nightmares, this is a world brimming with Clive Barker's signature blend of wonder and horror.
