I liked Blackman's "Pig-Heart Boy", but this book, Noughts and Crosses, just freaks me out. It's based on a world where white people are looked upon as lowly and black people dominate (Noughts are white, Crosses are black). It focuses in on one Nought boy (Callum) and a Cross girl (Sephy) who are apparently the best of friends and love each other (bleck). However, as time progresses tension between the races rises and it is harder to meet each other. Callum gets kicked out of his new school (basically for being a "Nought") and Sephy cannot take the stress of her life anymore so she decides to go to a boarding school, which means they are separated for years. After though, they meet again, but things have changed between them. Will they rekindle their relationship? Like a modern remix of "Romeo and Juliet" you can predict what will happen.
Honestly, I didn't like this book, but you can read it if you want, if you like these sort of twisted...stories.
