Abarat
A: Clive Barker
ISBN: 0-060-28092-1
2002
Candy Quackenbush, John Mischief, Christopher Carrion, and Mischief are to mention a few of the colourful characters cunjured up for this other dimension.
This is supposed to be Clive Barkers attempt at a childrens book. Me thinks he might be seeing a bigger picture. HP and Rowling spring to mind..
He has some handy brush work in hardback and it doesn't leave anything to the imagination, a bit of a shame. The beauty of childrens books sometimes is your own imagination.
He's already published the 2nd book to this trilogy. It could be worthwhile. Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War.
Still I enjoyed this book for the originality.
