Calling all budding artists!

JK Rowling has released a brand new childrens story for free called "The Ickabog". It begins with King Fred the Fearless, ruler of Cornucopia, and five-year-old Bert Beamish, and readers are also introduced to the myth of a fearsome monster called The Ickabog.

The majority of Cornucopia was a "magically rich land" with happy people and lots of delicious food. However, those dwelling on the northern tip, known as the Marshlanders, lived on scraps. They had "rough voices, which the other Cornucopians imitated" and were teased about "their manners and their simplicity". Who will save them from The Ickabog?

New chapters are released every week and the exciting part is that your illustrations could become part of the book when it is published! JK Rowling suggests pictures for you to draw each week and then they can be entered into a competition. So get reading and get inspired with your drawings and email them to your teacher when you are done so we can all see your amazing Ickabogs!

The link to the story is below.

Happy reading! Can't wait to see your drawings.
