Hello All!
For any parents (or fellow adult Potter Nerds) out there, I have some excellent news! J.K. Rowling has released on her blog the first two chapters of a previously abandoned and never published children’s story! 🎉
The Ickabog does not take place in the Potterverse, but reads with loads of charm and humor- perfect for reading out loud to the kiddos. (Or, if you’re me, scrolling furtively on your phone while hiding said phone from the toddler.🙄) Though it certainly feels different from Harry Potter, it is unmistakably J.K. Rowling, with her funny sounding names and magical ability to conjure up a new world.
Rowling will be releasing The Ickabog in installments every day, a chapter or two at a time through July 10th. There is also an illustration contest children can participate in, for inclusion in the book when it is eventually published in paper form this fall.
