I want to be in the Abarat. The magical islands where Day and Night are battling for power. I want to be in the Abarat, hopping from one island to the next, staying anywhere the mood strikes. Each island accomodates a specific mood at a specific Hour. But of all the islands, my two favourites are Babilonium with all its crowd and colors, the noise, the hulloballoo of the carnival, and Nonce with its sentient vegetations and where everything evolves eternally.
Favourite quote:
"Menurutmu apakah barangkali sebagian diriku sudah pernah berada di Abarat ini?" tanya Candy pada Malingo.
"Kenapa kau berkata begitu?"
"Sebab... tempat ini rasanya seperti rumah. Tempat di dunia satunya itu tidak. Tempat inilah rumah." Ia menengadah. "Juga langit ini." Lalu ia memandang ke laut. "Laut ini." Akhirnya ia memandang tangannya. "Kulit ini." (hlm. 407)
