Lois Lowry:
As an author whose work has become so integrated into wider American culture, I have wondered: what are your thoughts on how your fans have interpreted The Giver? Is there anything that you wish they had taken from the story that they seem to have missed? Is there anything that surprises or annoys you?

Lois Lowry:
I am a fan of your "Giver" series. I taught 9th grade English for many years and "The Giver" was one of the novels that I taught. My students loved it; wonderful discussions came from reading it. Last summer I read the 4 book series. Last weekend I saw the movie. It did not disappoint. I was so glad that the movie followed the book so closely. Thank you for "The Giver." Anne Fischer
