Laney
Laney asked Lois Lowry:

Ms. Lowry, The Giver has been in my top five favorite books consistently since I read it in the fourth grade. I feel it's had a hand in shaping my political beliefs and in a way the vocation I've chosen. What inspired you to write the book and did you set out to write the book that The Giver became or did it take on a life of it's own during its composition?
