It was one of the few books about black people, so I felt seen.' 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 _____ My name is Callie Rose. My mum is a Cross - one of the so-called ruling elite. My dad was a Nought. My dad was a murderer. My dad was a terrorist. These facts are the only things that are mine and real. So I don't mind so much that I'm leaving it all behind. There's nothing here worth holding onto. Sixteen years have passed since Sephy Hadley first met Callum McGregor - and the hate that divided them turned to hope. But the world hasn't changed quickly enough for their daughter, Callie Rose. Growing up dual heritage in a world where bitter prejudice divides Noughts and Crosses has meant she's an outsider wherever she turns. Enter Jude McGregor. Jude teaches Callie about her real family history, and the more she learns the more he persuades her where her loyalties really lie. But soon Callie is caught in a trap she can't get out of - one which will have deadly consequences. Voted as one of the UK's best-loved books, Malorie Blackman's Noughts \u0026amp; Crosses series is a seminal piece of YA fiction; a true modern classic.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAuthor: Blackman, Malorie,author\u003cbr\u003eContributors: Blackman, Malorie,author\u003cbr\u003eBinding: paperback\u003cbr\u003eNumber Of Pages: 528\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: \u003cbr\u003eLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis\u003cbr\u003eFormat: International Edition\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1\u003cbr\u003ePublished\/Release Date: 6 Apr 2017\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Penguin Random House Children's UK\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Malorie Blackman\u003cbr\u003eDimension (cm): 197x129x33 mm\u003cbr\u003ePackage Dimension (cm): 36x196x128 mm\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight (g): 362\u003cbr\u003ePackage Weight (g): 360","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53280089014569,"sku":"BK0141378662","price":59.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5868\/0105\/files\/716p7kKiBKL.jpg?v=1784406338","url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/en-au\/products\/checkmate-1","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
