The first book of the Books of Abarat is a great read. It is an amazing starter to the dark story of a different world that seems to be hidden but overlaps and soon collides with the real world. Due to its occasional morbid content, I would recommend it to mature readers.

A journey beyond imagination
is about to unfold. . . .
is about to unfold. . . .
It begins in the most boring place in the world: Chickentown, U.S.A. There lives Candy Quackenbush, her heart bursting for some clue as to what her future might hold.
When the answer comes, it's not one she expects.
Welcome to the Abarat.
