In a world where time itself is geography, a teenage girl named Candy Quackenbush discovers a doorway to the Abarat—a vast archipelago of twenty-five islands, each frozen in a different hour of the day. Pulled from her mundane life in Minnesota, Candy finds herself caught between wonder and danger as she explores islands of perpetual midnight, golden noon, and everything between. Hunted by the sinister Boa, a shape-shifting creature serving dark forces, Candy must navigate this dreamlike realm and uncover her own mysterious connection to the Abarat's fate. Alongside eccentric allies—a philosophical sea captain, a shape-shifting friend, and magical inhabitants—she discovers that her arrival is no accident. As shadows from the Abarat's darkest hours threaten to consume all the islands, Candy must embrace her hidden power to prevent catastrophe and find her true place in this extraordinary world.
