Deborah Ellis - Author Interview: Mrs

I have been reading the Parvana series to my 11 to 13 years students since they were first published. Long time! I love them and so do my kids, boys and girls! We are very privileged people living in Aotearoa New Zealand and we are a small country area and school. Your stories do so make us think and cause much excellent discussion about war, and journeys, and families, and loads of other themes. Kids still remember and occasionally discuss Parvana five or ten years later, and just the other day, a mom told me her daughter, who is now at uni, said she had talked about Parvana to her lecturer in an English class. Thank you for your great books, I love them all. They are hard to find here now, in paper copy, so I will be importing them to get new copies, to replace my worn out ones! Kind regards.
