Noughts & Crosses Graphic Novel by John Aggs, Malorie Blackman
5.0
WOW! This book hit me hard! I was left a tear-stained mess!
I have never read the original books but now I really want to pick them up. This was such a heart-wrenching and powerful depiction of two ethnicities in a society where Crosses (black people) and Noughts (white people) are very much encouraged to keep apart and not mix. I loved the main characters - Sephy and Callum, and thought Lynette’s story was so so sad :’(
In fact I found the whole thing sad but beautifully written and illustrated too.
A new favourite!
