The incredible new novel in iconic author Malorie Blackman's ground-breaking YA Noughts & Crosses series

Thirty-four years have passed since Sephy Hadley - a Cross - first met Callum McGregor - a Nought. Their love was forbidden, powerful - and deadly.

Life is seemingly very different now for Noughts and Crosses - including for Sephy and Callum's families. But old wounds from the past are hard to heal, and when you're playing a game as dangerous as they are, it won't be long before someone gets caught in the crossfire.

Rich in moral and social issues * Sunday Times Ireland * Ingeniously flips the race issue . . . it's a brilliant inversion, with myriad tiny details that constantly illuminate the grinding effect of blind prejudice * Financial Times * Once again, in her latest book Crossfire, Blackman captures the uncomfortably familiar zeitgeist * Stylist.co.uk * It chillingly echoes the tempestuous taste of the world today while offering the intensity of a thriller * i newspaper * The fast-paced drama will resonate with internet-era teens - and there's more to come * Daily Mail * Blackman is great at explosive love-hate relationships . . . [and] also has a talent for producing relatable characters, gutsy dialogue and page-turning action. Crossfire is a cracking story that fans of the series will love. * Guardian * [Malorie Blackman] is a supremely suspenseful writer . . . [a] nail-biting drama * Daily Telegraph * Rich in moral and social issues, it is devastating about racial attitudes * The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week * Crossfire is searing, political and furious.
