Malorie Blackman
Author
Malorie Blackman is a British author who is one of the most important and influential children's and young adult writers of her generation. Born in London in 1962, she was the Children's Laureate from 2013 to 2015. She was awarded an OBE and a DBE. A Dangerous Game is part of her extensive body of work that includes the landmark Noughts... & Crosses series — a dystopian saga that inverts racial power dynamics to explore racism, prejudice, and love. The series has been adapted for BBC television and the stage. Blackman's fiction consistently tackles social issues with courage and compassion. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers groundbreaking, socially conscious fiction for young people — stories that challenge, inspire, and change how readers see the world.
