What was your inspiration for the Anastasia books. I have loved all your books, and those were some of my favorite books to read over and over again when I was a kid. Thanks for your great books!

Our book group is conducting a multi-generational discussion next month on The Giver. Do you have any suggestions for facilitating this type of discussion? The age range will be 15-65 (approximately), both male & female.

Amy Baker

Amy Baker asked Lois Lowry:

Why would you write Jonas' dad with a capacity for compassion when he brings Gabe home and breaks the rules by finding out his name, but then switch character when he kills the twin and votes for Gabe to be "released"? This feels like a deus ex machina to create an urgency that justifies Jonas' next acts. How do you see the character of Jonas' father and why did you write him this way?
