In Abarat
Candy is drawn to the Abarat when one day in class she obsessively draws pictures of the sea in her workbook and her teacher sends her to the principal. Instead of going to the principal she runs out the door. Without knowing where she is going, she runs out of town into an empty field. There she meets John Mischief who is being chased by a monstrous being known as Mendelson Shape. Candy comes to the rescue by running up the steps of a rundown lighthouse and turning on the light with a game of ball and cup. This brings a great sea called the Sea of Izabella to the Hereafter (the Abaratian term for Earth), allowing Candy and John Mischief to escape. Mischief intrusts Candy with a mysterious, incorporeal Key and tells her to forget she ever had it, leaving her to fend for herself on the islands.
