Cassidy Schnell asked Lois Lowry:

Hi Lois! I really liked the Giver and saw the movie right when it came out, but my question is about Jonas's age. In your book Jonas and his classmates are 12 years old but in the movie it seems like their assigned numbers go by grade rather age. So I was wondering if you like the "12th grade Jonas" in the movie or "12 year old Jonas" in your book better for the story overall. Thanks!

Sarah asked Lois Lowry:

Thank you for coming to Nerd HQ and promoting the film while helping raise money for Operation Smile. I was happy to attend your panel. How was your ComicCon experience?

Carrieuoregon asked Lois Lowry:

Do you ever do school visits anymore? I've been wanting to meet you since I was a girl reading 'Anastasia' books. (which my 10 yr old now loves) Thanks for all the wonderful hours of reading over my last 27 years or so!
