The Ickabog by: J.K. Rowling

Set in the mythical kingdom of Cornucopia, The Ickabog is a modern fairy tale with the feel of a classic. Once the happiest, richest country in the world, Cornucopia is famous for its luxurious cheeses, pastries, and meats—until the legend of a monster called the Ickabog begins to sow fear and mistrust.

When that fear is manipulated by greedy and power-hungry individuals, Cornucopia begins to change. Lies become law, the truth becomes dangerous, and the land once filled with joy becomes a place of suspicion and sadness.

At the center of the story are two courageous children, Daisy Dovetail and Bert Beamish, who must navigate political deception, personal tragedy, and real danger in their quest to uncover the truth and restore justice.
