Noughts and Crosses aka Black & White

Callum is a naught, a second class citizen in a society run by the ruling Crosses. Sephy is a Cross, and daughter of the man slated to become prime minister. In their world, white naughts and black Crosses simply don’t mix and they certainly don’t fall in love. But that’s exactly what they’ve done. When they were younger, they played together. Now Callum and Sephy meet in secret and make excuses. But excuses no longer cut it when Sephy and her mother are nearly caught in a terrorist bombing planned by the Liberation Militia, with which Callum’s family is linked. Callum’s father is the prime suspect…
and Sephy’s father will stop at nothing to see him hanged. The blood hunt that ensues will threaten not only Callum and Sephy’s love for each other, but their very lives. In this shocking thriller, UK sensation Malorie Blackman turns the world inside out. What’s white is black, what’s black is white, and only one thing is clear: Assumptions can be deadly.

This thought provoking and often provocative look at racism is a sequel to the award winning Noughts & Crosses. For fourteen years, Sephy, a singer, struggles to raise her mixed race child in an apartheid society, telling Callie Rose very little about her father, and trying to make her mark in the music business where she also has to deal with prejudice. But suddenly and dramatically, Callie discovers the truth about her parentage that her father, Callum, was hanged for terrorism! Can mother and daughter heal the rift that now opens between them? And can Callie ignore the pain of the past as she takes her own steps towards her future? This is a riveting and page turning novel for ages twelve and up that will confirm Malorie Blackman’s status as one of today s top authors for young readers. From the Hardcover edition.

Rose has a Cross mother and a Nought father in a society where the pale skinned Noughts are treated as inferiors and those with dual heritage face a lifelong battle against prejudice. Sephy, her mother, has told Rose virtually nothing about her father, but as Rose grows into a young adult, she finds out the truth about her parentage and becomes determined to find out more. As Rose takes her first steps away from Sephy and into her father’s world, she finds herself drawn inexorably into danger. Suddenly it s a game of very high stakes that can have only one winner.
