Former Children’s Laureate Malorie Blackman’s best-selling alternative history has achieved cult status among young and adult readers alike. This striking Folio edition is introduced by Benjamin Zephaniah, names one of The Times’s 50 Greatest Post-war Poets, while London-based Nigerian illustrator Kingsley Nebechi illustrates the novel. His strong pictorial style perfectly matches our design vision and his startling illustrations reflect the challenges of the subject matter, while alluding to his passion for comic books and art styles from Africa.
