I wish it was longer, but at the same time it's fine because there's more to the series! Such an important series, one I think everyone should read.

Unlike any other book I've read. Two narrators, one male, one female so a good read for boys as well as girls.

In the tale of noughts and crosses the roles of our generations history are reversed. When you read this book you will realise just how much the black people suffered as the the whites are treated in the same way so I recommend this book if you really love history

I think this book is a amazing book to read. Its fills you with so many different emotions... Your crying tears of joy :'D one minute and the next they're of sadness :'(! This book really does teach you a lesson in life, that no one is more important than anyone else. It is a very lovely story but also very upsetting so be warned its not just a sweet fairytale...

because you can see how all about racism started and the names that people gave each other.

A fab book for older children, noughts and crosses is a thrilling story about love in an unfair world.

23 Jun 2014

It is very interesting as it is a twist on the past which is black people ruling white people instead of the other way round.

The book I have read is noughts and crosses by Malorie Blackman. I recommend it because it has a really good story line. Also the use of language is used very well in every single chapter. You should definitely read this book.

A lot going on but a very good and imaginative dystopian thriller : D

Dear reader,
You should really read this book it is amazing and now my favourite book. It's about a girl and a boy who love each other but as the girl (Sephy Hadley) is a cross and the boy (Callum McGregor) is a nought law and Sephy's parent won't allow them to be together but that doesn't stop them...

23 Jun 2014

It's a really good book for both boys and girls it has romance and action, polictics and justice :)

this thrilling book takes a new twist and now it is the black (noughts) discriminating the whites (crosses).Can Sephy and Callum be together despite racism?
