Noughts & Crosses (Unabridged edition)

Callum and Sephy have known each other since they were babies.

His Mum used to work for hers as housekeeper, and they played together and became best friends.

Then Callum's mother lost her job, and they had to start meeting in secret. Because Callum is a Nought - a second class citizen - and Sephy a Cross, one of the elite. And Noughts and Crosses can't mix... In this segregated society, Noughts are nonentities - discriminated against, denigrated, denied decent education.

But now Callum's passed the entrance exams and been allowed into Sephy's posh school.

Surely this is his first step to a better life, one where he and Sephy can be together?Only it doesn't work out that way.

Instead of acceptance, the couple face opposition, intimidation and violence.

They know they're made for each other - but the world keeps tearing them apart. And soon bigger things will prevail. Like the bombing...
