A review by nwhyte
Abarat by Clive Barker

http://nhw.livejournal.com/1053965.html[return][return]A YA novel about a teenager from a boring American town who is sucked into a fantasy parallel world which she must save. I enjoyed a couple of Barker's fantasy novels for adults many years ago; wasn't really so grabbed by this one, kindly lent to me by mr_renaissance. The illustrations, which I guess are Barker's own from the lack of any separate credit, are a bit jarring as well.
