Candy Quackenbush is a lonely, neglected sixteen-year-old girl trapped in the barren landscape of Minnesota, which she views as a colorless wasteland. One day, she encounters a mysterious door that leads her to Abarat—a vast archipelago of twenty-five magical islands, each representing a different hour of the day and night. The islands are inhabited by extraordinary creatures and characters, and each island possesses its own unique culture, magic, and mysteries. Candy discovers that she is somehow connected to this magical world and that her arrival in Abarat is no accident. As she explores the islands and encounters both allies and enemies, she uncovers a sinister evil known as the Yzark that has been plotting to escape its prison and dominate both Abarat and the real world. Candy must navigate the wonders and dangers of this fantastical realm while uncovering secrets about her own destiny and the true nature of Abarat itself.
