?I know that many of you here have waited years for this Hour,? Mater Motley said, using that voice that, though it was barely conversational in volume, was somehow heard everywhere. ?The waiting is over. Tomorrow there will be no dawn. Only midnight, absolute and eternal.? And so begins a new chapter in the epic story of sixteen-year-old Candy Quackenbush and her journeys through the world of the Abarat, where every hour is an island in one eternal day, and nothing is as it seems. Candy travels through the Abarat from island to island and across the sea with an unlikely band of friends: the escaped prisoner Malingo the Geshrat, the quarrelsome John Brothers, who all share the same body but never the same opinion, and the many other colorful characters they meet along the way.

Her method is si
