Zoom to Pluto and back with this super space story from award-winning author, Malorie Blackman.
Malorie Blackman is acknowledged as one of today's most imaginative
and convincing writers for young readers. The novels in her Noughts
& Crosses sequence have won several awards, including the
Children's Book Award, and she has won many other awards for her
books for the Random House list. Both Hacker and Thief! won the
Young Telegraph/Gimme 5 Award - Malorie is the only author to have
won this award twice - while Hacker also won the WH Smith
Mind-Boggling Books Award in 1994. Her work has appeared on screen,
with Pig-Heart Boy, which was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal,
being adapted into a BAFTA-award-winning TV serial. Malorie has
also written a number of titles for younger readers.
In 2005, Malorie was honoured with the Eleanor Farjeon Award in
recognition of her distinguished contribution to the world of
children's books.
In 2008, she was then honoured with an OBE for her services to
Children's Literature.
Rewarding reading
*Teaching and Learning*
The pace is good, there is enough repetition of plot elements to
keep readers in touch, and the setting is just different enough to
be interesting
