Ana Campoy gives me a hilarious interview (Madrid, 1979). And it's no wonder, just released the book Family on the run (I will speak) together with the Valencian illustrator Álex Alonso. Campoy graduated in Audiovisual Communication from the Complutense University of Madrid. He began his career on television, cinema and radio, where she worked for years as an actress, screenwriter and voiceover artist. She is the author of The Adventures of Alfred & Agatha, All that unites us y The Cronopandilla, Jaén Prize for Youth Literature in 2017. He also collaborates as a cultural journalist in magazines Jot Down, Jot Down Kids y Canine and is in charge of coordinating the children's section of the Celsius Festival 232 from Aviles. For your part, Alex Alonso (Valencia, 1976) I am studying at the School of Arts and Crafts of this city. His career includes illustration, corporate image, typography and signage. GINÉS J. VERA
The best way to keep a secret is not to tell anyone., Agent Z says. What can we tell the readers?, to those who have fallen into their hands Family on the run and are deciding whether to buy it or not?
Family on the runIt's about the F., a family that is included in a witness protection program. The reason is that there is an evil organization called Mandible that is after them.. Because of this the F. They have to continually change location and identity, and that's not always easy. That's why you will understand that from the F family. can't tell much. Neither their location nor their surnames. If we spoke out it would be dangerous for them!!
The Agency, the AAA, They were prohibited from taking any device that had anything similar to a GPS., much less access social networks. Bufff, that's hard. Maybe for someone like Maya or Guinevere not so much., but Lucas sees it as unfair. Tell us about young people and social networks, there being books as fascinating and interesting as Family on the run.
Internet and social networks are part of our reality. They have brought about a revolution in our lives.. Like everything changes, It involves an adaptation and I think we are currently adjusting. That's why, con Family on the runI have tried to launch a call to reflection. More than being for or against, the question is the use we make of them. The data we share or the fact of being permanently located and its possible consequences. And I think everyone, both adults and young people, we must meditate on it.
A life change is complicated for everyone.. If it's from one day to the next, even more. Let's not say in the case of our young protagonists that they will have to adapt to new customs and even dress in a particular way.. What do you think readers Fiona's age would take worst of all?, Lucas or Maya?
It's nice that the characters resemble real people. I think it is the best way for the reader to identify with the story.. That's why Family on the runtalks about things that can be extrapolated to real life. Starting from scratch is always complicated. It is difficult when we change schools or cities and we have no choice but to adapt to a new environment.. I suppose that in these types of situations everyone does what they can.. Y, just like it happens in the book, I don't think there is anyone infallible.
On the spine of the book I have discovered a number one, is it another secret? What can you tell us about this book beyond the book itself??…
Very sharp! I see that the mysteries of Family on the run they begin to reveal themselves. Yeah, it's true. There will be a second part that will go on sale next March. It is titled “Infiltrated in the Big City” and you can already imagine what the next destination of the F will be.. But I can't tell more. I've already said too much and the F's. can be endangered.
