Checkmate
 
Can the future ever erase the past? Rose has a cross mother and a nought father in a society where the pale-skinned noughts are treated as inferiors and those with dual heritage face a life-long battle against deep-rooted prejudices. Sephy, her mother, has told Rose 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, to honour both sides of her heritage. But her father's family has a complicated history - one tied up with the fight for equality for the nought population. As Rose takes her first steps away from Sephy and into this world, she finds herself drawn inexorably into more and more danger. Suddenly it's a game of very high stakes that can only have one winner...

Knife Edge
 
A stunning and absorbing sequel to the award-winning Noughts & Crosses, set 14 years later. For fourteen years, Sephy - a singer - struggles to raise her mixed-race child in an apartheid society, telling Callie Rose very little about the girl's father, and trying to make her mark in the music business (which also has his prejudices against Crosses like Sephy). But suddenly and dramatically, Callie discovers the truth about her parentage - that her father, Callum, was hanged for terrorism! Can mother and daughter heal the rift that now opens between them? And can Callie ignore the pain of the past as she takes her own steps towards her future? A riveting and page-turning novel that will confirm Malorie Blackman's status as one of today's top authors for young readers.

The Stuff of Nightmares
 
Kyle has always been afraid of things, especially dying. But when he gets on the train that is taking him and his class on a school trip, he has no idea how close to Death he is going to come. Death enters the train and Kyle moves with him, past his friends, who are frozen in time, in life-or-death situations. Kyle finds that he can pick up on their deepest, darkest fears - real things that have happened to them, or may happen in the future, and sometimes their surreal nightmares too. Kyle realises that he isn't the only one who has buried fears and, more importantly, he now burns with the desire to live, and to live without fear. But will Death release him?
