The Ickabog

The Ickabog

Welcome to this exciting webpage celebrating the latest work from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.

For years The Ickabog book has been lying in a box in the attic of author J.K. Rowling. However, during the first lockdown in England, she kindly shared chapters each day for free. The story, for anyone over 6 years of age, is packed with adventure, treason, bravery, foolishness and moments of wonder!

You can no longer read each of the chapters, but the book is available from all good bookstores. On this page we have given activities for almost every chapter of the book with reading, writing, art, mathematics, historical, geographical and scientific challenges. On some days there are no challenges (particularly at the end of the book) but take a look at some of our ideas by clicking the links below.
