Ria Morgan
Ria Morgan asked Lois Lowry:

"Gathering Blue" is one of my favorite books that I've read as a child. I reread it all of the time. What inspired you to write a character like Kira?

Lois Lowry I am always interested in creative, artistic people

More Answered Questions

Tanya Harrison
Tanya Harrison asked Lois Lowry:

Does your book The Giver have ties of Christianity or religions in it? When I was reading the book, I kept thinking about the gift of choice. Just wondering if there are any religious or non-religious themes that were intended in The Giver?

Nicole Saice
Nicole Saice asked Lois Lowry:

Ms. Lowry, I teach fifth grade and every year my students are enthralled by your historical fiction novel "Number the Stsrs". They always want to know more about Anne Marie's story-why did she help her neighbors and risk her own life, and more importantly, what happened to both families during and after the war? Ever think about writing a sequel?

Jared Wall
Jared Wall asked Lois Lowry:

In your mind, do Ellen Rosen and her parents ever return to Copenhagen? If not, where do you think they would go?
