Sephy is a Cross: she lives a life of privilege and power. But she“s lonely, and burns with injustice at the world she sees around her.
Callum is a nought: he“s considered to be less than nothing – a blanker, there to serve Crosses – but he dreams of a better life.
They“ve been friends since they were children, and they both know that“s as far as it can ever go. Noughts and Crosses are fated to be bitter enemies – love is out of the question.
Then – in spite of a world that is fiercely against them – these star-crossed lovers choose each other.
But this is love story that will lead both of them into terrible danger . . . and which will have shocking repercussions for generations to come.
Voted as one of the UK“s best-loved books, Malorie Blackman“s Noughts & Crosses is a seminal piece of YA fiction; a true modern classic.
