"Blueblood" by Malorie Blackman explores a futuristic society where the wealthy are genetically engineered and tend to display physical traits of blue blood, while the less fortunate are not. The story follows a young girl named Tania, whose family grapples with the realities of class divides and genetic superiority. When Tania encounters a blueblood named Jaxon, their worlds collide, challenging social norms and prejudices. As their relationship deepens, they must confront the implications of their identities and the societal expectations that seek to keep them apart. The narrative weaves themes of love, identity, and rebellion against a backdrop of inequality. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
