Living in the most boring area on earth, Chickentown USA, Candy is desperate for any hint as to what lies ahead for her. She will soon discover this when a massive wave sweeps her away from our world and deposits her in a very other location.
The Abarat is a large archipelago where each island represents a distinct hour of the day. From the sunny splendors of Three in the Afternoon, where dragons saunter, to the ominous menaces of Midnight, the island controlled by Christopher Carrion, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Candy has a purpose in this amazing planet; she was sent here to assist in rescuing the Abarat from the evil forces churning at its core. Forces more malevolent than anything Candy has ever experienced and older than time itself.
