Harry Potter fans, rejoice! J.K. Rowling, the author of the bestselling series, recently announced the launch of another magical tale, The Ickabog. Not a Harry Potter spinoff by any means, the story is a fairy tale that Rowling used to read to her children before bed. She began working on the book over a decade ago.
The story is suitable for children aged 7 to 9 and will be released in 34 free online installments from May 26 to July 10, 2020, before being published as a printed book, e-book, and audiobook in November. What are you waiting for? Head over to The Ickabog website and start reading!
Fans of the story can even look forward to possibly being a part of its final printed version. Children can submit their drawings to an illustration competition using the hashtag #TheIckabog, with the best submissions being selected to appear in the book!
It's J.K. Rowling's latest work!
Little ones at home hankering for more entertainment.
Don't forget to check out #TheIckabog illustration competition!
