CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS 'The most original book I've ever read' BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH 'Malorie Blackman is absolutely amazing ... [Noughts \u0026amp; Crosses] really spoke to me, especially as a woman of dual heritage.' ZAWE ASHTON'Stop it! You're all behaving like animals! Worse than animals - like blankers!'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 \u0026amp; Crosses is a seminal piece of YA fiction; a true modern classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43925171175683,"sku":"9780141378640","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9780141378640_aaf698e0-a259-466f-9886-049002079de6.jpg?v=1731336619","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com\/products\/9780141378640","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
