Alto come due cavalli, occhi infuocati, artigli affilati come rasoi. L'Ickabog sta arrivando...

C’era una volta un regno chiamato Cornucopia. Una minuscola nazione ricca e prospera, famosa per i suoi formaggi, gli ottimi vini, i dolci deliziosi e le salsicce succulente. Sul trono siede un sovrano benevolo, Re Teo il Temerario, le cui giornate trascorrono pigre, tra banchetti sontuosi e battute di caccia, con la fida compagnia dei suoi lord, Scaracchino e Flappone. 

Tutto è perfetto… O quasi. Secondo la leggenda, infatti, un terribile mostro è in agguato nelle Paludi del Nord. Ogni persona di buonsenso sa che l’Ickabog è solo una leggenda inventata per spaventare i bambini. Ma le leggende sono strane e a volte prendono una vita propria…Quando questo accade, toccherà a due giovani amici, Robi e Margherita, affrontare un’incredibile avventura e svelare una volta per tutte dove si nasconde il vero mostro. Solo così speranza e felicità potranno tornare a Cornucopia.

Una fiaba straordinaria, scritta da una delle più grandi narratrici di sempre, sul potere della speranza, dell’amicizia e della verità e il loro trionfo a dispetto di ogni sventura. Una storia che piccoli e grandi lettori vorranno leggere e rileggere in un’edizione regalo, arricchita dalle illustrazioni a colori dei giovani vincitori del Torneo per le illustrazioni dell’Ickabog.

The protective charm that has kept Harry safe until now is broken, but he cannot keep hiding. The Dark Lord is breathing fear into everything Harry loves and to stop him Harry will have to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes.
