Noughts and Crosses by Marjorie Blackman
Teen Book of the Week
What if the world we live in never existed?
What if something happened, hundreds or thousands of years ago, that completely changed the course of history?
What if, instead of the Europeans colonizing the planet, the Africans were the ones with all the power?
What things would be different?
What things would be the same?
And what would happen to a white boy and a black girl, if they fell in love?
