A journey beyond imagination is about to unfold. . . . It begins in the most boring place in the world: Chickentown, U.S.A. There lives Candy Quackenbush, her heart bursting for some clue as to what her future might hold. When the answer comes, it's not one she expects. Welcome to the Abarat.
Candy Quackenbush's adventures in the Abarat are getting stranger by the hour. Why has the Lord of Midnight sent his henchman after her? Why can she suddenly speak words of magic? Why is the world familiar? Candy and her companions must solve the mystery of her past before the forces of Night and Day clash and Absolute Midnight descends upon the islands. A final war is about to begin. . . .
Candy Quackenbush a basculé dans un monde parallèle, l'archipel d'Abarat, composé d'îles correspondant chacune à une heure de la journée. Plus la jeune fille s'enfonce dans Abarat, plus elle risque sa vie, car Christopher Gangrène, le seigneur de Minuit, a lancé ses hommes à sa poursuite. Candy n'arrive pas à comprendre pourquoi ce tyran sanguinaire lui voue une haine si farouche. Le temps presse, pourtant : la jeune fille doit résoudre l'énigme de son passé avant que les forces de la Nuit lancent leur attaque et que le noir absolu de Minuit recouvre à jamais les îles d'Abarat.
