38 - 6: Malorie Blackman: What If?

Alan Yentob follows one of Britain's best loved writers, Malorie Blackman, former Children's Laureate and the first children's writer to win the prestigious Pen Pinter Prize. Bold, provocative and challenging, Malorie Blackman's books have plunged children's literature into previously uncharted waters: her tragic reverse-racism novel Noughts and Crosses challenged assumptions and declared her a writer like no other.

As she prepares to publish her long-awaited autobiography, Malorie discusses the key moments in her life that made her a writer.
