regan
regan asked Lois Lowry:

Were you nervous to show others, like family members, your work when you first began writing?

Lois Lowry No. I think I learned in college, and graduate school, how to present my work to others and to value their comments

Daisy
Daisy asked Lois Lowry:

Hi Lois! I've been a fan of The Giver since I was a teen. My question is, what is the book that you can recommend to young people who are trying to make sense of everything in this world. I went through that as a teen and I would like to help other young people, even in a simple way as to recommend a book. I hope you get to answer this question. Thank you.

Alivia
Alivia asked Lois Lowry:

The giver was recently adapted into a film where many changes were made to the story and the characters. On NPR you said you wished you had written the book like it was changed in the film. Did you mean the way they changed the setting in the film, or the characters in the film as well? I was a bit disappointed in the character changes in the film adaptation. Thank you for writing The Giver.
