I feel like this book is more relevant now than it has ever been!!

Malorie Blackman has turned history on its head.
She has made it possible to cover the cruelest of offenses in a way that shows the universality of the dark side of humanity.

In the book, the Crosses are the ruling class, are “closest to God,” and are black. The Naughts, on the other hand, are white and despised. The Naughts have been free for years, but segregation and deeply ingrained racism and hatred are running rampant in an increasingly unstable society.

This book really makes you think about the cost of racism and how it affects peoples lives. Racism causes hatred and hatred can kill.

Thought provoking and well written ...on to book two of this sequel
