Description
Malorie Blackman's life is a testament to the power of perseverance and determination. From her early days as a young girl from South London, who fell in love with books and found solace in her local library, to her journey as a writer, marked by trauma, trials, and triumph, her story is one of unwavering resolve. Blackman's path to becoming a writer was not without its challenges. She faced rejection, including eighty-plus letters from publishers, and was told she would be dead by thirty due to her illness. Yet, she held fast to her dream, driven by principles such as wonder, loss, anger, perseverance, representation, and love. These tenets have played a unique role in inspiring her writing, and her infectious zest for life. This candid and movingly honest memoir charts Blackman's life against the principles that have motivated her journey, offering a unique insight into the life of one of Britain's most beloved children's authors.
