Noughts & Crosses, Malorie Blackman, Amélie Sarn

"I realized I didn't know anything about how to take care of you, Callie. You were no longer an unnamed, unreal thing. You were no longer a romantic ideal or just a way to punish my father. You were a real person. And you needed me to survive. Callie Rose. My flesh and blood. Half Callum, half me, and one hundred percent you. Not a doll, not a symbol, nor an idea, but a real person with a brand new life opening up before her. And entirely my responsibility." Imagine a world. A world where everything is black or white. Where what is black is rich, powerful, and dominant. Where what is white is poor, oppressed, and despised. Blacks and Whites do not mix. Ever. Yet, Callie Rose was born. Child of love for Sephy and Callum, her parents. Child of shame for the whole world. Everyone must then choose their side and their color. But for some, this color takes on a dangerous hue... that of hatred.
