Synopsis: Candy Quackenbush is an unhappy teen living in Chickentown, Minnesota who gets magically transported to Abarat, a fantasy archipelago comprised of twenty-five islands. While I’ll be focusing on the first book of the series, I have read all three of the books released, so at the end I’ll give my general thoughts on the series as a whole. Let me just say, to most people Clive Barker is a horror writer, but since this is the only series I have read by him, he’s a fantasy writer to me.ĭespite me having great memories of this book, I would be the first to concede how many problems the book has from an analysis perspective. Way back in my middle school days (well, what would have been my middle school days if I hadn’t been homeschooled), I picked up this book from the library, knowing nothing of the author or the series.
