Ruthie and Jack thought that their adventures in the Thorne Rooms were over . . . until miniatures from the rooms start to disappear. Is it the work of the art thief who's on the loose in Chicago? Or has someone else discovered the secret of the Thorne Rooms' magic? Ruthie and Jack's quest to stop the thief takes them from modern day Chicago to 1937 Paris to antebellum South Carolina. But as more items disappear, including the key that allows them to shrink and access the past worlds, what was once just an adventure becomes a life and death race against the clock. Can Ruthie and Jack catch the thief and help the friends they meet on the way before the magic-and the rooms-are destroyed forever? Fans of magic, mystery, and adventure will love this rollicking sequel to Marianne Malone's The Sixty-Eight Rooms.
'I know that many of you here have waited years for this Hour,' Mater Motley said, using that voice that, though it was barely conversational in volume, was somehow heard everywhere. 'The waiting is over. Tomorrow there will be no dawn. Only midnight, absolute and eternal.'
And so begins a new chapter in the epic story of sixteen-year-old Candy Quackenbush and her journeys through the world of the Abarat, where every hour is an island in one eternal day, and nothing is as it seems.
Candy travels through the Abarat from island to island and across the sea with an unlikely band of friends: the escaped prisoner Malingo the Geshrat, the quarrelsome John Brothers, who all share the same body but never the same opinion, and the many other colorful characters they meet along the way.
The problem is that trouble finds Candy wherever she goes. And soon she discovers a secret plot, masterminded by the diabolical Mater Motley, who is obsessed with becoming Empress of the Islands. Her method is simple. She will darken the skies, putting out the suns, moons, and stars. She will bring absolute midnight.

AUTHOR
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish poet, novelist and children's literature legend. Andersen's career as a writer began in the theater. A talent boy soprano, Andersen turned to writing when his voice changed.
The first of his published short stories attracted the attention of the King, who then became his sponsor. After success with adult works, Andersen decided to write a series of fairy tales which were initially unpopular in Denmark, but they received enormous attention throughout the rest of Europe, and he published three volumes.
Although unlucky in romantic love, Andersen was regarded as a national treasure, and to this day he is loved by millions. In a discussion about the music for his funeral, Andersen said ""Most of the people who will walk after me will be children, so make the beat keep time with little steps.""

Le jour de son anniversaire, un petit garçon reçut une boîte de 25 soldats de plomb. L'un d'entre eux était un peu différent des autres car il n'avait qu'une seule jambe. Les soldats furent rangés sur une table, où il y avait beaucoup d'autres jouets. Le soldat de plomb qui n'avait qu'une jambe remarqua parmi eux une danseuse, qui se tenait gracieusement sur une seule jambe, et la croyant unijambiste comme lui, il pensa que ce jouet lui ferait une femme merveilleuse. Le soir, quand les gens de la maison furent couchés, tous les jouets se mirent à faire la fête. Le vaillant soldat de plomb restait immobile et fixait des yeux la danseuse. Minuit sonna alors et un diable en boîte s'ouvrit, qui se mit à avertir le soldat de plomb de ne pas la regarder. Mais le soldat continua à regarder la danseuse...
