This was a lot more random than what I was expecting, with lots of adventures with almost an Alice in Wonderland vibe to it. Candy getting an escape from her abusive household and her traveling into the world of Abarat. It was a lot to take in, to be honest, lots of places and people to remember but it was entertaining and a good fantasy read.

Recommended by a coworker and it was cute but not really my kind of story. Really gorgeous abstract and weird oil pastel pictures throughout the book which was a nice addition. But plot wise it was a lot and it mostly felt like filler? Guess I’m not the target audience cus I’m not 12
