Last year my novel Emilio was published by Allen and Unwin in the Through My Eyes series, which is a series of novels for young people by different authors, about children caught in conflict zones around the world. Mine is set in Mexico, around a very different sort of war. As the last novel in the series, Zafir, by Prue Mason, set in Syria, is about to come out, I thought it might be interesting to revisit my interview last year about Emilio.
