After opening a free online Harry Potter center in April，British writer J K.Rowling brings even more good news.
In May，Rowling started writing a new story called The Ickabog，which was free to read online to help amuse people who stayed at home because of COVID﹣19.
The new story centers around a monster （怪物）known as the Ickabog，a fiercechild﹣eating monster who lives in the northern tip of an imaginary land known as Cornucopia and has super powers.
Though the book is written for children，it is also fascinating to adults.It talks about many things，such as weak leadership，and suppression （镇压）of disagreement.
"The Ickabog is a story about truth and the abuse （滥用）of power，" Rowling wrote on the website."The themes are timeless and could be used in any era or any country."
Rowling put the first two chapters online on May 26，with daily writing to follow until July 10.
She is also panning 10 publish （出版）the book in print later this year and then give away the money from its sales to projects and organizations helping the groups most influenced by COVID﹣19.
