Hannah
Hannah asked Lois Lowry:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)[ How did you get over the pain of writing about your sister's illness and death in A Summer to Die? I've thought numerous times about writing a book based on painful events in my past, but I can't seem to get over the hurdle of facing the pain head-on. (hide spoiler)]

Paul
Paul asked Lois Lowry:

In recent history there are some authors that were not pleased with the movie adaptation of their novels (for example P. L Travers or Ursula K. Le Guin). What are your thoughts about the movie?

Brandi
Brandi asked Lois Lowry:

I would love to hear about a new life with Jonas and Gabe. Any plans to have a story continue on with your first series? I felt distraught that it just ended like that. And those now viewing the movie have the same feeling. Could there be more to Jonah's story?
