WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Abarat is so good. Despite how long it is, i read it in just one night. It's a fast read that will suck you into the story from the begining. This book is great for kids of any sge, and I highky suggest you read it. You should check this book out at a library or you could buy it for about 20 dollars. I know I enjoyed it, and I'm sure you would to. Let me give you a brief summary: So your a girl probably about 11 or 12 living in a totally boring place called Chickentown. Obviously your wanting to go some where else with your life. But you don't expect to be running a way from school! Right as Candy leaves, her life goes topsy turvy as she meets John Mischeif and his seven brothers living on his head. After that she travels to the abarat and things take off from there. And then suddenly she realizes something . She's been here before. Will she be able to save herself and friends from danger, or perish trying? Read this book to find out!!!!I would give it an A for AAAAmazing!!!:)

As good as the first one...
This book was more mature and darker than the first Abarat book, but no less fantastic. The artwork is amazing! I can't wait for the third one: Abarat: Absolute Midnight. Coming out Summer 2008!

A Riveting Read
This is another magical installment in the series, but I must admit, I was slightly disappointed by the ending.
