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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56367917105525,"sku":"9780241817735","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780241817735.jpg?v=1763548243","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780241817735","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
