As you probably know, the Earth consists of 70% water and 30% land. However, all those bits of water and land are not the same.
Some of them hold great strategic importance because they serve as choke points for people who want to get from place to place.

In an interview with Here and Now's Celeste Headlee, Luqman-Dawson talks about her decision to stay away from writing a non-fiction book and the power of historical fiction for teens and kids.
