New with small rip to cover, reflected in price. A pacy, hard hitting and brave novel about true courage. Sure to be a teen classic. (chi)

The recently appointed Children's Laureate, Malorie Blackman, is the author of the multi-award-winning Noughts and Crosses series, which deals with issues of race and ethnic identity. Her latest novel is Noble Conflict. She has written more than 60 books for children and teenagers, including Pig-Heart Boy, which was shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal and adapted into a BAFTA-winning television series. Blackman is particularly celebrated for writing about a diverse range of characters, including those who are often marginalised in society, such as teenage fathers in her novel Boys Don't Cry. In 2008 she was honoured with an OBE for her services to children's literature and became the Waterstones Children's Laureate in June 2013.
The layers of lies are many, weighty, and ominous, and they come close to burying Gemma and Mike. Blackman's young adult novel revolves around two high school misfits, one who feels unloved by her family and the other who feels responsible for his father's death. The many misfortunes in these young lives makes for heavy listening as Clifford Norgate takes the listener deep into the psyches of these two students. As they alternately build their own protective worlds and rebel against their families, Norgate's voice projects pain, resentment, and angst. Because of his genuine portrayal of the characters, the listener can believe Gemma when she is finally able to say, "Watch out world. I'm coming."
