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.

Growing up dual heritage in a world where bitter prejudice divides Noughts and Crosses has meant she's an outsider wherever she turns.

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 & Crosses series is a seminal piece of YA fiction; a true modern classic.
