Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 7-10–Candy Quakenbush and her chum, Malingo, who first came to our attention in Clive Barker's Abarat(HarperCollins, 2002), have surfaced again in this sequel (Joanna Cotler Books, 2004). Candy is on the run from the Lord of Midnight, Christopher Carrion. Carrion and his evil grandmother, Mater Motley, are determined to begin a war that will bring absolute darkness to the Abarat forever. Believing that Candy has the power to prevent their wicked plot, they decide that she must die and Carrion relentlessly pursues her. Candy slowly begins to understand what is going on as she performs magic she hasn't learned and recalls memories of things she never experienced. Along the way, she encounters a succession of both helpful and unsympathetic characters. Candy and the dragon slayer, Finnigan Hobb, are drawn to each other and the shocking reason is revealed toward the end of the tale. The raspy voice of narrator Richard Ferrone serves the novel well. His interpretation of Carrion, in particular, is chilling. The book doesn't stand on its own–listeners should read or listen to the first book before tackling this one to fully understand the sometimes complicated plot. There are two additional titles planned for the series. The series has the potential to become hugely popular as Disney has optioned the story for both movie and theme park rights.–Tricia Melgaard, Centennial Middle School, Bixby, OK

From Booklist

Gr. 7-12. The whimsy is back in full force in the sequel to Abarat (2002), but this story is quirkier, much darker, and laced with real horror. Candy Quakenbush of Chickentown, Minnesota, and the geshrat Malingo are traveling the islands of Abarat, taking in all the fantastic sights. Unfortunately, the Lord of Midnight and his evil minions are in hot pursuit. He is obsessed with Candy, but he knows she must die to prevent her thwarting his gruesome plans. The mystery of her birth haunts her as she gradually finds herself remembering things she shouldn't know, including magic, and she begins to wonder if the struggle between the Night-world and the Day-world is at the heart of why she is in the strange land. Barker lovingly and graphically describes the wonders of a magical world, and his vivid scenes of near captures, deaths, and a climactic sea battle that ends in Chickentown will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Once again, more than 100 unusual, full-color paintings by Barker enhance the story. Sally Estes

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary!, May 14 2007
By John Burns "Author of Runnerland, a novel for... (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Abarat: Days Of Magic, Nights Of War (Paperback)
Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War is by Clive Barker, who has written some very scary books for adults, far too scary to be things I would ever read. But being a children's book, Abarat seemed safe. Wrong. The second of four in the series, this follows the ongoing exploits of Candy Quackenbush (formerly of Chickentown, Minnesota) in the lands of Abarat. Candy (shades of Candyman?) discovers here that she is more than she appears, uncovering abilities and qualities well beyond those of the average Minnesotan, abilities that might explain why exactly the evil Christopher Carrion hungers so relentlessly to capture her. This is lush, fully realized fantasy supported by 125 of Barker's colourful, menacing paintings in this volume (and an exhaustive glossary). Disney has reportedly bought the rights to a film adaptation of the first book; look for Barker to join J.K. Rowling and Lemony Snicket in the child-crossover market.
