Malorie Blackman

This event has finished.

Come and meet the author of the award-winning Noughts and Crosses Series!

Double Crossis the fourth title in Malorie Blackman’s best-selling Noughts & Crosses sequence. Taking up the story where Checkmate left off, we are again drawn into the lives of Callie Rose and Tobey. Written with Malorie Blackman’s trademark immediacy, this powerful thriller also tackles new territory as we find characters caught up not just in race but also gang conflict. In a story that is both dramatic and entirely relevant to the world we live in today, Blackman highlights the influences of peer pressure and protection and the roles that money and material goods play in the decisions made by or forced upon young people.
Malorie Blackman will be speaking about Double Cross and the Noughts and Crosses Series in general and will also be answering questions and signing books. (Recommended for ages 12+.)
