Then there is Lydia’s trip to the future which is actually quite interesting as it reveals a dystopian picture in which wealthy individuals own whole towns and rule them as they see fit. I really liked the idea of a localised society in the future rather than a globalised one – this is something different and it’s again a shame this aspect of the novel wasn’t developed more, although it makes sense as it’s not that relevant to the main story.Bundle of 11 short reading comprehensions with questions using the language of the SATs tests. They are ideal for revision. Largely they focus on inference, retrieval and providing evidence for answers.

A children story that can only be enjoyed by the children is not a good children story in the slightest.” - C.S. Lewis Noughts & Crosses was No. 61 on the Big Read list, a 2003 BBC survey to find "The Nation's Best-Loved Book", with more votes than A Tale of Two Cities, several Terry Pratchett novels and Lord of the Flies. But damn. That time travel wasn’t thought through. Or rather. None of the characters thought it through. At first I thought only Lydia was an idiot. But. Seems like I was wrong. You're the new girl in school. You're just trying to fit in - and it's not working. Then someone accuses you of theft, and you think things can't get any worse. Until you get caught in a freak storm . . .

Because; the thing is, Lydia might now prevent herself and Danny growing into jaded tyrants, but that isn’t stopping literally everyone else from tormenting the town and the whole of England. The resistance says this themselves: I LOVES THIS BOOK SO MUCH, IT IS BRILLANT. The book it about a girl who just moved to a new town and begins a new school. she gets pressured to steal a trophy to be a part of a group. she gets framed and ends up running away. and goes to the future, where she sees her brother as the master of a town and is horrible to everyone, because of what happened to his sister. Although I did try, I found it quite hard to feel a connection with the characters. I did feel sorry for them, but no connection. I feel as well as the main character trying to prove her Dad’s innocence she also learned how to fit in with her family. The Times newspaper once described Malorie as a ‘National Treasure’. Looking at her remarkable list of accomplishments, it is difficult to argue with that sentiment.

on her journey she falls over to find herself in the future. Here she meets her future self and her future brother who own a town. They work together and make life very difficult for the residents that live there. when young Lydia finds out what her future self and brother have done, she decides to return to her time and change the future. Why does Lydia not realize this was all Anne’s plan from the very beginning? Anne told Lydia that everyone in the group had done this - including Frankie and Bharti. Frankie gives Lydia the cold shoulder (And Lydia does not assume this is because Lydia failed her task, but because Frankie thinks Lydia is a thief) and Bharti only believes Lydia because he likes to be contrary like that. Anne’s lie is obvious, no?Fleeing on to the moors when she is unfairly accused of theft, an unusual storm suddenly whirls 12-year-old Lydia into the future. But will it ever let her return? Lydia is quite happy with her life; she has just moved down from London to a small town called Tarwich and has already made a friend but then she is blamed for a theft that she did not commit. Suddenly her life turns upside down and everywhere she looks people are pointing at her and shouting ‘THIEF!’. All she wants to do is hide in humiliation and only her 10-year-old brother, Danny, really understands how she feels. Isn’t that nice?
