The Ickabog is being published for free on J. K. Rowling's website as a serial. (A serial is when a larger story is published piece by piece over time, like a chapter a day.) According to J. K. Rowling's website, the book will be published over seven weeks starting on May 26 and ending on July 10. That means that once you start reading, you'll have to wait for the next chapters to come out before you get to read more! This could be really hard!
There is also a contest to create the illustrations for when the book is published in print. Each day when chapters are uploaded, J. K. Rowling will give suggestions for what you can draw or paint to illustrate the story. Then your parents can enter your drawings at the publisher's website for a chance to be the actual illustrations used in the book when it is published in November.
I haven't read the story yet, but I'm just as excited as many of you will be to read more from the author of Harry Potter!
