A Goodreads user asked Lois Lowry:

Hi Lois! My question is how hard was it for you to connect all the parts of what is now dubbed the Giver Quartet so seamlessly and beautifully because i love books that can connect and enable you can backtrack and exclaim 'I got that reference!' I would love to one day write a series like that with hidden easter eggs much like yours!

Mrs.Wright asked Lois Lowry:

I'm intrigued by a society that strives to be better in its safety and sameness. So many details in The Giver make the fictional world real, like receiving bicycles at the same time, or speech protocols to keep conversations predictable. I wonder if there were other details or systems you considered for this world that were ultimately not included in the book, and if that was the case, why not?
