J.K. Rowling to Release New Children’s Book ‘The Ickabog’ The book will be published <br />online for free for children to <br />read while in quarantine. 34 daily installments will <br />be posted online until July 10. The story "about truth and the <br />abuse of power" has been in the works for over a decade. Rowling says it “isn’t intended to be read <br />as a response to anything that’s <br />happening in the world right now.” Rowling has asked children to send <br />in illustrations for each chapter. <br />The best ones will be included <br />in print editions of the story. Royalties from the print editions, <br />available in November, will go <br />to projects assisting groups<br />impacted by the pandemic.
