Celebrate twenty-five years of Malorie Blackman's inimitable, iconic, and utterly unforgettable novel, with this ultra-luxe special edition.

The Noughts & Crosses series are still my favourite books of all time and showed me just how amazing story-telling could be - Stormzy

Sephy is a Cross – she lives a life of privilege and power. Callum is a nought – he's considered to be less than nothing, a blanker there to serve Crosses.

They've been friends since they were children, and they both know that's as far as it can ever go. Noughts and Crosses are fated to be bitter enemies – love is out of the question. Then, in spite of a world that is fiercely against them, these star-crossed lovers choose each other. But this is a love story that will lead both of them into terrible danger... and which will have shocking repercussions for generations to come.

Malorie Blackman has written over seventy books for children and young adults, including the Noughts & Crosses series, Thief and a science-fiction thriller, Chasing the Stars. Many of her books have also been adapted for stage and television, including a BAFTA-award-winning BBC production of Pig-Heart Boy and a Pilot Theatre stage adaptation by Sabrina Mahfouz of Noughts & Crosses. There is also a major BBC production of Noughts & Crosses, with Roc Nation (Jay-Z's entertainment company) curating the soundtrack as executive music producer. In 2005 Malorie was honoured with the Eleanor Farjeon Award in recognition of her distinguished contribution to the world of children's books. In 2008 she received an OBE for her services to children's literature, and between 2013 and 2015 she was the Children's Laureate. Most recently Malorie wrote for the Doctor Who series on BBC One, and the fifth novel in her Noughts & Crosses series, Crossfire, was published by Penguin Random House Children's in summer 2019.
