CHECKMATE - MALORIE BLACKMAN TASCHENBUCH

'The Noughts & Crosses series are still my favourite books of all time and showed me just how
amazing story-telling could be' STORMZY   'Malorie's Noughts & Crosses series is the first time
I saw myself in a book . . . they were pacey  exciting  rich. What Malorie Blackman has always
done so brilliantly is put the minority front and centre  both in society and politics.'
CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS   'The most original book I've ever read' BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH   'Malorie
Blackman is absolutely amazing ... [ Noughts & Crosses ] really spoke to me  especially as a
woman of dual heritage.' ZAWE ASHTON  -----   My name is Callie Rose.   My mum is a Cross - one
of the so-called ruling elite.   My dad was a Nought. My dad was a murderer. My dad was a
terrorist.   These facts are the only things that are mine and real. So I don't mind so much
that I'm leaving it all behind. There's nothing here worth holding onto.   Sixteen years have
passed since Sephy Hadley first met Callum McGregor - and the hate that divided them turned to
hope. But the world hasn't changed quickly enough for their daughter  Callie Rose.  Growing up
dual heritage in a world where bitter prejudice divides Noughts and Crosses has meant she's an
outsider wherever she turns.  Enter Jude McGregor. Jude teaches Callie about her real family
history  and the more she learns the more he persuades her where her loyalties really lie.  But
soon Callie is caught in a trap she can't get out of - one which will have deadly consequences.
Voted as one of the UK's best-loved books  Malorie Blackman's Noughts & Crosses series is a
seminal piece of YA fiction  a true modern classic.
