Jennifer Coon asked Lois Lowry:

Dear Ms. Lowry: I've been reading your books for 20 years. I'd like to know what lead you to your decision to make your central characters children and how did you draw them so richly---as if they were adults with full experiences and histories? Thank you!

N asked Lois Lowry:

In The Giver, you created a society that goes to the extreme in order to protect the people and maintain peace. But when it comes to the real world, do you think that there’s a good balance between government protection and personal freedoms? Where would you draw the line when it comes to government control and freedom of choice?
