Summary: Come on, You Have To Love it!
Comment: I saw this book in a Disney magazine and i loved the cover. So when i went to the mall, i bought it. I read it, and loved it. This is the book that made me read 24 7. Now i read all the time. You really need to pick this book up. I have already passed it around to my best friend Kaitlin, My fav. aunt Bonnie, and my school librarian. It is great.
Here is a summary: Candy longs to get away, from her boring hometown, ChickeTown. Who knew her wish would come true after meeting the Mischief Brothers, eight brothers connected on the same body. She has now entered the Abarat, a world where there is an island for every hour of the day.
For more information read the book. Clive Barker's colorful illustrations make the book even better, because it is sometimes hard to imagine every character he throws at you. Some people think it is too off the wall, but it needs to be, every book can't be the same. It is so much fun.
I want the second one, is Clive almost done?

Summary: Sure to be a Fantasy Classic
Comment: This book follows Candy, inhabitant of the most boring town in america, as she journey through the Abarat. She is the daughter of an uncaring mother and a drunkard father. She wishes for something more.
Then she meets the interesting John Mischeif. who has multiple heads. He's being chased. With her help they open of the way to the Abarat archipelago. Twenty Five Islands are what it is consisted of. One for each hour of the day. And the mysterious "Hour Out of Time."
Candy's adventures bring her to meet what will be many intersting friends as well as enemys. This is the first books of the Abarat series written by the master Clive Barker. He also includes illustrations which were oil paintings that he himself created.
This book, being written for young adults, can be read by both young as well as old. It is that good! If you want to get in on the next best thing (after this Harry Potter stuff) read this book. The start of an epic classic!

Summary: WOW
Comment: Wow I mean WOW this book is so amazing and suprising I have read it 10 times on Christmas Vacation!
At times it does start to get boring but suddenly when you want to put it down something amazing happens. It is about a young girl named Candy who doesn't like her teacher parents and just everything about her life. One day she goes exploring and meets a man/thing with many heads only to find that he is running from the scariest creature in Abarat. She then finds her way into the Isabella ocean that leads to her journey and suprising adventure in Abarat. The author had perfect detail!
I definently reccomend it for all ages!
It is my new favorite book!
