Noughts and Crosses
BookBench
The Noughts and Crosses series is set in a fictional, racist dystopia. Sephy is a Cross – a member of the dark-skinned ruling class. Callum is a nought – a ‘colourless’ member of the underclass who were once slaves to the Crosses. The two have been friends since early childhood. But that’s as far as it can go, until the first steps are taken towards more social equality and a limited number of Noughts are allowed into Cross schools… Against a background of prejudice and distrust, intensely highlighted by violent terrorist activity by Noughts, a romance builds between Sephy and Callum – a romance that is to lead both of them into terrible danger…
This critically acclaimed series of young adult novels by Children’s Laureate Malorie Blackman inspires a stunning BookBench this summer.
