Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on February 08, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Malorie Blackman! May your day be filled with more excitement than Whizziwig causing mischief or Operation Gadgetman's latest invention going hilariously awry. Your stories have captivated generations—proving that the best adventures often come from crossing boundaries (or should we say Noughts and Crosses?).

From exploring deep space in The Space Stowaway to challenging perceptions through powerful storytelling, you've inspired countless readers young and old. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've given us—and perhaps fewer plot twists than one of your novels!

Wishing you laughter, cake, and endless inspiration for many chapters ahead!
