Abarat





Once upon a world
where time is place
a journey beyond imagination
is about to unfold....
It begins in the most boring place in the world: Chickentown, U.S.A. Candy Quackenbush lives in Chickentown, her heart bursting for some clue as to what her future might hold.

When the answer comes, it's not one she expects. Out of nowhere comes a wave, and Candy, led by a man called John Mischief (whose brothers live on the horns on his head), leaps into the surging waters and is carried away.

Where? To the ABARAT: a vast archipelago where every island is a different hour of the day, from the Great Head that sits in the mysterious twilight waters of Eight in the Evening, to the sunlit wonders of Three in the Afternoon, where dragons roam, to the dark terrors of Gorgossium, the island of Midnight, ruled over by the Prince of Midnight himself, Christopher Carrion.

As Candy journeys from one amazing place to another, making fast friends and encountering treacherous foes -- mechanical bugs and giant moths, miraculous cats and men made of mud, a murderous wizard and his terrified slave-she begins to realize something. She has been here before.

Candy has a place in this extraordinary world: she is here to help save the Abarat from the dark forces that are stirring at its heart. Forces older than Time itself, and more evil than anything Candy has ever encountered.

She's a strange heroine, she knows. But this is a strange world.

And in the Abarat, all things are possible.

Eu não ia escrever resenha de Abarat, mas depois de ver como ele foi tratado no Skoob, mudei de ideia. Nem será uma resenha, na verdade, são algumas impressões. Abartat é o primeiro livro de uma série de 4, que conta a história de Candy Quackenbush, uma adolescente que vive na cidade entediante de Galinhópolis. Ela acaba parando no arquipélago de Abarat onde a história acontece. O livro possui personagens extremamente verossímeis e os melhores vilões de livros de fantasia que já li.... leia mais
