Abarat
by Clive Barker
I loved this book as a teen. I was lucky enough to have the one with his illustrations and it was like Van Gogh painted a Dr. Seuss story. The fantastically beautiful and often morbid and creepifying creatures and scenes in this magical land where every island remains a different time of day inspired me and made my imagination do back bends to understand it. I don't think I have given it enough of a chance, though. It is very much the first part of a story and I haven't yet finished the trilogy. I should really read the rest to see Candy's complete destiny.
