If you've been looking for a new book to read during lockdown then maybe maybe The Ickabog is just what you're after.

How much do we know about The Ickabog?

It isn't a Harry Potter book and it doesn't include magic, but is instead an entirely different story.

J.K. Rowling had the idea for The Ickabog a long time ago and read it to her children when she was working on it, but never published it.

Instead it ended up in the attic, but during lockdown she decided to read it again and publish it online.
