The iconic love story in graphic novel form. The Noughts Crosses series are still my favourite books of all time and showed me just how amazing story-telling could be STORMZY Malorie s Noughts Crosses series is the first time I saw myself in a book . . . they were pacey, exciting, rich. What Malorie Blackman has always done so brilliantly is put the minority front and centre, both in society and politics.
