Histoire
Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

Description
The Ickabog is coming....
A mythical monster, a kingdom in peril, an adventure that will test two children’s bravery to the limit. Discover a brilliantly original fairy tale about the power of hope and friendship to triumph against all odds, from one of the world’s best storytellers.
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them.
Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.
Could a myth unseat a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once happy country to its knees? Could a myth thrust two children into an adventure they didn’t ask for and never expected?
If you’re feeling brave, immerse yourself in this audiobook to find out....
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, a PDF including full-color illustrations from the winning artists of The Ickabog Illustration Competitions run by Hachette Children’s and Scholastic will appear in your library along with the audio.

Sub par for this author is still pretty good
I wouldn’t recommend The Ickabog to all Harry Potter or Cormoran Strike fans, but it’s excellent for kids of a younger age as a bedtime story, which is what it was created for. The story doesn’t feel as tight or exciting as anything else JK Rowling has written, but it’s got a great message and helps younger children understand how greed and fear can transform a community from idyllic to apocalyptic. And Stephen Fry is fantastic. Why we can’t get his version of the Potter books on Audible Canada is the service’s single greatest failing.

Disappointing
Listened with my 8-year-old son after finishing Harry Potter, and we made it like 10 chapters into the story before abandoning it. There was nothing especially gripping about the story or any of its characters up to that point. And I like Stephen Fry's voice as much as anyone, but even he couldn't salvage the lackluster storytelling. To be fair, he didn't do much, in terms of character voices, to keep children engaged in the story. Overall, a pretty underwhelming listen. There are going to be die-hard JK Rowling fans that will love it no matter what, but I don't see the appeal of this one. Maybe it gets better in Chapter 11, but I'll never know.

I really enjoyed listening to this story, j.k. Rowling is such a wonderful writer. Now it’s no Harry Potter, but if your expecting that you’ll be sadly disappointed. It does however remind me of the short stories the beetle and the bard. This book was heart warming and full of good life lessons, teach us to be kind to one another and you can always change if have strayed down the wrong path. It makes an excellent edition to a children’s library, but this book is good for all ages. It deserves a listen! The Narrator had a great voice for this story, I really enjoyed this book.

What a completely amazing book
This story is the most fantastic thing in the whole world. I have listened to it 26 times already. If this book was a person I would marry it on the spot. Just wow, this is the best story ever. When I’m walking down the road I sometimes just run up to random pedestrians and tell them about this book!!! I even have Ickabog posters all over my room!!! My family makes fun of me for how much I love this book. I truly and honestly believe that if you do anything other than listening to this book it should be considered a massive waste of time. Whenever I drive or walk anywhere I always listen to this story because it is the most amazing thing that has ever been invented. The author of this is an absolute genius I believe that he should be given a Nobel Prize for writing this wonderful work of art. Recommend this to everyone and buy it at once. I would recommend this to people in between the ages of 1 and 200

Charmant conte pour enfant
La performance et l'histoire s'accordent parfaitement pour tisser un moment délicieux. Le format sous forme de conte le rend accessible aux plus jeunes tout en donnant une expérience jouissante et nostalgique aux plus grands. J. K. Rowling sait vraiment construire des histoires même si le départ ne laisse pas présager une histoire aussi riche. L'enfant en moi en demande plus.

Oh, dear...
I loved Harry Potter and have revisited the books and movies many times over. And I adore Stephen Fry. But I didn't like this book.
It starts as a rather heavy-handed treatise on class differences in society, showcasing how people with power can talk themselves into ignoring their feelings and thus justify being unfair, or worse, for their own comfort. It may change course further on, but right now I just can't take any more of the issues I hear about in the news every day. So many of my favorite fiction authors have turned their novels into pulpits, addressing some societal issue they feel strongly about. I find I usually agree with their position, but really wish they would continue to create fictional worlds where we all can take a break from the bleakness and cruelty of the world as it exists right now.
The worst thing here is that the story is told rather than shown, and the humor, charm, and deep characterizations that I fell in love with in the world of Potter are definitely MIA. I expect I will be in the minority with this review, but another seven hours is more than I can manage. Did not finish and returned.

JK Rowling + Stephen Fry = 100x a listen
First off, JKR seems to understand that adults want to listen to kids story lines. And I absolutely adore her for that, as well as philanthropically and as a brilliant creative mind.
Secondly, Stephen Fry did actually read some of the Harry Potter books but audible does not have his recordings. He is the number one reader for JK Rowling, imo. There is no one better. Pay him a million dollars.

No fun
Ickabog starts out promising with JK’s charming writing. THEN the body count builds and builds with never ending details of a government official’s corruption and malfeasance. It just goes on and on and on and on and on! Around chapter 40ish things FINALLY start getting hopeful and the book ends quickly after that. Maybe if the narration focused much more on the lives of the characters I ACTUALLY cared about rather than the villain, I may have enjoyed it more. Maybe if the villain was interesting at all, I would have enjoyed it more.
Most of the book focused on the villain’s acts of villainy rather than the hero’s character development. The characters who are good in the beginning of the book are still good in the end with very little growth. The characters who started out bad were still bad in the end with no depth or intrigue. I didn’t have any investment in ANY of them because they were all shallow ghosts- barely a whisper of someone I could root for or someone I could relate to. It’s a classic example of “telling rather than showing” -SUPER DUPER disappointing.

Well worth a listen.
I enjoyed the story. The characters were well done. And Stephen Fry gave a marvelous performance.
There is some violence, but no sex or language issues that I caught.

Guliver’s Travel?
JK Rowling is a great story teller. But it seemed to be a political satire. The phrase “ I know how to destroy him. I’ll ruin his reputation” was very much the 2020 cancel culture. I’m sure the symbolism in this story will be analyzed by everyone.

Delightful Fantasy
To my surprise this delightfully witty fantasy was weaved with classic morals & lessons. Throughout the darkest chapters of this captivating tale, the reader is able to hope in truth and honor. It is a tale that should be told throughout the generations and read to children around the world. It belongs with other classic tales such as Peter Pan, Hansel & Gretel, and Little Red Riding Hood. Fun. Adventurous. Heroic.

Enjoyable
Reminds me of Roald Dahl books. I’m looking forward to more short stories like this!
