[Noughts &amp; Crosses] really spoke to me, especially as a woman of dual heritage.&quot; ZAWE ASHTON_____&#39;Stop it! You&#39;re all behaving like animals! Worse than animals - like blankers!&#39;Sephy is a Cross: she lives a life of privilege and power. But she&#39;s lonely, and burns with injustice at the world she sees around her. Callum is a nought: he&#39;s considered to be less than nothing - a blanker, there to serve Crosses - but he dreams of a better life. They&#39;ve been friends since they were children, and they both know that&#39;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&#39;s best-loved books, Malorie Blackman&#39;s Noughts &amp; Crosses is a seminal piece of YA fiction; a true modern classic.
