Noughts & Crosses is about a black girl called Sephy & a white boy called Callum & their friendship in a world that's divided by the colour of your skin
- & how their feelings for each other grow as they grow older & grow up As Malorie Blackman herself says 'I wanted to turn society as we know it on its head with new names for the major divisions ie Noughts (the underclass) & Crosses (the majority ruling society) I wanted to see this new world through the eyes of the main two characters Callum (a nought) & Sephy (a Cross)'
