A thrilling adaptation of Malorie Blackman’s bestselling novel exploring young love in a dystopian world. Callum and Sephy, who have been friends since childhood, find themselves living in a society that separates them by class. Callum is a Nought, a second-class citizen, while Sephy is a Cross, part of the elite. After Callum gains entry into Sephy’s prestigious school, they hope for a better future together, but instead face hostility and danger. Their love is challenged as internal and external conflicts intensify, culminating in a bombing that will change everything.

This powerful dramatisation is adapted by award-winning playwright Janice Okoh and features performances by Zawe Ashton as Sephy and Rikki Lawton as Callum, alongside a talented cast. Included is a bonus episode of Word of Mouth, where Malorie Blackman discusses her passion for reading and the influential works that have shaped her writing. Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4, this audiobook promises an engaging experience for listeners.
