Donna Lore
Donna Lore asked Lois Lowry:

While reading Son, my class and I had many questions about the settings in the book. There was such a contrast in each of the communities. We were wondering how one community could be progressive, like jet planes and then the other be so primitive, - no schools or doctors. How could these communities be so different from each other? Were they in the same dimension?

Andrea Haddox
Andrea Haddox asked Lois Lowry:

The Giver was the first of many things for me. It was my first chapter book, my first favorite book, and most of all the first time a ever took an adventure in my own head. After all these years and hundreds of books between, I just have to ask. Where is Elsewhere and what about those left behind? Thank you

Julie
Julie asked Lois Lowry:

Though I haven't read it in over a decade, "Number the Stars" sticks in my head vividly. How did you research this gorgeously written book and how much, if any, is true?
