The Abarat is an archipelago where every island is an hour of the day, and it is full of strange, wonderful creatures. But through the powers of a magical lighthouse, she manages to summon a sea from nowhere-and from there, she is carted off to the Abarat. There, she finds a strange man named John Mischief, whose brothers live as heads sprouting out of his impressive antlers, who is running from a strange, gaunt man named Shape. One day, a strange compulsion grips her, and she races to the outskirts of town. She longs for something more than her small-town life, but doesn't know where to find it. She hails from the small town of Chickentown, Minnesota, a tiny burg with a higher population of its eponymous fowl than people. The books follow the adventures of a young woman named Candy Quackenbush.
Abarat is an as-yet unfinished Young Adult fantasy quintet (of which so far only the first three books have appeared: Abarat, Days of Magic, Nights of War, and Absolute Midnight-the intended sequel of which is tentatively titled "Kry Rising") written and illustrated by one Clive Barker.
