Mal Peet on winning the Guardian children's fiction prize
Alison Flood talks to Mal Peet about his prizewinning novel, Exposure
Grumpy at not making the cut for the Guardian children's fiction prize with his previous novel, Mal Peet let off a little steam by inserting a mischievous reference into his new book, Exposure: a sneering article in El Guardian is brushed off by the book's villain Diego as irrelevant because the paper is "only read by intellectuals, leftwing politicians and other people of no importance or influence".
