She then finds herself in Abarat, a whole new world where strange things are a foot. The story tells of a girl named Candy Quackenbush who has a acholic father who lives in Cickentown a boring place in the u.s. I love the characters that are dynamic and original. The pacing is slow at times, even at the exciting bits, otherwise, this book is pith-perfect. The only down fall, and trust me, the ONLY, is the pacing needs to be worked on. This author has style, and doesn't feel the need to flaunt his writing with big words or challenging text, in fact, he illustrates the books with beautiful, strange oil paintings, more than fifty that help illustrate the strange but magical taste of his new world he designed. Abarat is a one-of-a-kind fantasy start that begins with flawless writing. ![]()
