The Ickabog is coming....

A mythical monster, a kingdom in peril, an adventure that will test two children’s bravery to the limit. Discover a brilliantly original fairy tale about the power of hope and friendship to triumph against all odds, from one of the world’s best storytellers.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Could a myth unseat a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once happy country to its knees? Could a myth thrust two children into an adventure they didn’t ask for and never expected?

If you’re feeling brave, immerse yourself in this audiobook to find out....

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, a PDF including full-color illustrations from the winning artists of The Ickabog Illustration Competitions run by Hachette Children’s and Scholastic will appear in your library along with the audio.

Boring

I had loved the Harry Potter books so when I saw this new book by JK Rowling I decided to get this for my son to read together. I actually had no idea of the controversy around this book and to be honest that didn’t concern me at all. I simply couldn’t get past the 3rd Chapter as it was just so boring! Very disappointed.

Bought for Christmas present for daughter - well packaged, she is very fussy when it comes to her books so that was a plus. Excellent price and fast delivery. She was thrilled to receive - and she is 30yo! lol

Really enjoying the book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 November 2020

Verified Purchase

I am really enjoying this book. My grandkids have read JK Rowling’s books and told me all about them.
I ordered this book, when there was a backlash about a tweet she did, as I wanted to support her stand for truth.

Such a treat

I’ve been looking forward to reading this all year and I wasn’t disappointed. I loved The Ickabog. The hardback is a gorgeous book with a lover cover, printed on high quality paper and packed with impressive illustrations by children who won a competition. It’s a joy to hold and touch. I loved reading it. The author offers a traditional fairytale with darker elements such as a mysterious monster said to terrorise Cornucopia and the sinister motivations of the King and his men. The book is for children so easy to read and understand without being too childish. I loved it.

My 9 year old loves this book!

I bought this book for my two kids (8 & 9) to read. My 9 year old has barely put it down since she got it yesterday. It's a lovely hardback book with beautiful font. The illustrations inside are fab and having them drawn by other children is a very nice touch.

CHILDREN LOVE IT (and adults too)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2020

Verified Purchase

I read this online in the summer and bought it for my 8 year old nephew when it came out. Just had a phone call from him to say he had really loved it. (His mum said he had been inseparable from it, but is now allowing her to read it.) He also mentioned how much he had loved all the pictures by children. I saw some of the photos on twitter and have now realised I am going to have to buy it for myself so I can see which of the pictures were chosen. Now I am also wondering which other nieces and nephews etc I can buy it for Christmas. It is a great story for children to show them what real courage is and how to stand up for what you know is right. Well done, JKR!
