Authors Malorie Blackman and Tracy Chevalier play the (surprisingly difficult!) game: is it Shakespeare or Beyonce? and chat about their books, which are both inspired by Othello. Play along and let us know how you did!

// CHASING THE STARS by Malorie Blackman: http://po.st/ReadChasingTheStars
Olivia and her twin brother, Aidan, are heading alone back to Earth following the virus that completely wiped out the rest of their crew, and their family, in its entirety.
Nathan's ship is heading in the opposite direction. But on the journey it is attacked. Only a few survive.
Their lives unexpectedly collide. Nathan and Olivia are instantly attracted to each other, deeply, head over heels.
But not everyone is pleased. Surrounded by rumours, deception, even murder, is it possible to live out a happy-ever-after...?

// NEW BOY by Tracy Chevalier: http://po.st/GetNewBoy
Arriving at his fourth school in six years, diplomat’s son Osei Kokote knows he needs an ally if he is to survive his first day – so he’s lucky to hit it off with Dee, the most popular girl in school. But one student can’t stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players – teachers and pupils alike – will never be the same again.
