Malorie Blackman Noughts and Crosses Collection 4 Books Set, Checkmate

Tobey wants a better life - for him and his girlfriend Callie Rose. He wants nothing to do with the gangs that rule the world he lives in. But when he's offered the chance to earn some money just for making a few 'deliveries', just this once, would it hurt to say 'yes'?

Sephy, Rose's mother, has told her virtually nothing about her father, but as Rose grows into a young adult, she unexpectedly discovers the truth about her parentage, and becomes determined to find out more. As Rose takes her first steps away from Sephy and into this world, she finds herself drawn inexorably into more and more danger.

A gripping, stimulating and totally absorbing novel set in a world where black and white are right and wrong.
