"Speculative fiction at its very best, this book redefined what children’s books can do and be." Elle McNicoll, Guest Editor February 2023

"A book that dared to go where no one thought you could with young audiences because it raises tough stuff to do with race." Michael Rosen

LoveReading4Kids Review:  It takes a brave author such as Malorie Blackman to consider a sequence of the like of Noughts and Crosses and to pull it off with utmost aplomb. Award-winning author Blackman has tackled the issues of racism and prejudice in a world set in an alternate historical reality. Although 11 year olds will take great joy and learn much from reading this first one in the sequence, adults will devour it with equal enthusiasm. The contrast of the two main protagonists makes the novel totally compelling and the writing style is both original and superbly paced. The plot unravels at the pace of a thriller and as a consequence it’s a book that is almost impossible to put down.
