Exposure

A massive football star has it all but someone is plotting his downfall in this new edition of Exposure, by Carnegie Medal-winning author Mal Peet.

A breathtaking retelling of Othello set in South America, by Carnegie Medal-winning author Mal Peet. Winner of the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize. Revered as a national hero… married to the desirable Desmerelda… cherished by the media… football star, Otello, has it all. But a sensational club transfer sparks a media frenzy, and when he is wrongly implicated in a scandal, the footballer’s life turns into a tragic spiral of destruction. South America’s top sports journalist, Paul Faustino, witnesses the power of the media in making and breaking people’s lives.

Winner of the 2009 Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, reissued with a stunning new cover.
Tie-in potential with Shakespeare curriculum, as well as strong crossover appeal.
Mal Peet won the Carnegie Medal for Tamar and his first novel, Keeper, won the Branford Boase Award and a Nestle Children’s Book Prize.
