Another blow to the heart of a book for the pioneering Noughts and Crosses series. It’s 34 years since Sephy and Callum’s forbidden love broke all the rules – and our hearts. Racism is dead. The world has changed. Or has it? Crossfire drags the story live and kicking into the present day, brilliantly taking its original stark divisions into today’s world of subtler inequalities. These days, race and class supposedly no longer divide people. Britain even has its first ever Nought Prime Minister – Tobey Durbridge. Except that he has just been framed for murder, and two young people are about to be caught in the crossfire…

Another powerhouse of a book for this incredible series

Tense, addictive and keeps the pages turning at a frantic pace

Addresses real-life issues that matter to young people right now

A must for fans of The Hate U Give and Long Way Down

Malorie Blackman is an OBE and former Children’s Laureate
