Well, I was very bored a couple of days ago, so I decided to try to find the exact day candy went to the Abarat (if it was real) So from the book I knew it may, sometime in the middle, assumed it was 2002 when the book was published. I also knew it was a thursday. Knowing this I checked out the phases of the moon from that month and compared them to the picture that contained the lighthouse( it has a waning moon in it) from this I deduced that If the Abarat was real, then Candy left on May 9th 2002- call me a complete nerd but yes, I figured this out.
Also, for this year for the conditions to be present in the same way, The day would be May 13- and next year it would May 26. Call me the craziest fan girl you know, but I thought since all of that, I should make May 9th Abarat day (although, I know it is mothers day as well) and that may should be Abarat month because of that. Just sa random Idea I got carried away with, what do you guys think? Crazy or cool?

Wow! Very cool  Did... did it ever say in the book it was May? or are you just taking the date from when the book was published? Or am I just completely forgetting something important from the books? |

yeah, first chapter first book pg 12 quote"beyond the grimy glass was the famly's chaotic back yard: the shin high grass browned by the heat wave that had come unexpectantly in the middle of may..." I can see why it's overlooked, it's only mentioned once, ever.

So wouldn't it be the end of May or just past it (June?) if the grass was already brown from the middle of May?

hmmm, I did consider that, do you want me to recheck for june? Just to make sure-
Edit: I think I've made a mistake with you guys I apologize- June 6 is definetly the day! It makes more sense, so sorry.
EDITX2!: I also checked for this year conditions and made some changes to June 10th, but next years may 26 still stands because it 's really messed up next year.
