Hardback copy of Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. Only the white part is a dust jacket.

Back endpaper artwork by Juliet Nneka - Sephy and Callum gaze longingly into each other's eyes on a grassy cliff edge

Front endpaper artwork by Christopher Taylor. Dust jacket blurb: 'Stop it! You're all behaving like animals! Worse than animals - like blankers! Sephy is a Cross: her life is one of privilege and power. Callum is a nought: his life is considered to be worth less than nothing. Noughts and Crosses are fated to be bitter enemies- love is out of the question. Or so everyone thought. But this is a love story full of terrible danger. One which will have shocking repercussions for generations to come. Voted as one of the UK's best-loved books, this special edition celebrates twenty-five years of Malorie Blackman's Noughts & Crosses: a seminal piece of YA fiction and a true modern classic.

I LOVE this. I was totally drawn into what Emma had to say and the bit about keeping the bedroom door open made me laugh. Anyone who is or was a teenager can relate! Well done to your student who wrote this.
