Jess

Jess asked Lois Lowry:

You've said that you always wanted to write books, but it was later in life when you began a career in writing. Do you wish you would've fulfilled this dream sooner? Or do you feel the life you experienced made your books that much better? What advice would you give young writers who are just learning to balance their need to write with the basic human need to be in the world, experiencing life with those around them?

Verona

Verona asked Lois Lowry:

The main message I got from The Giver was how precious free agency, or the right to choose, is in all the little details of our everyday lives. Was this one of your purposes in writing this wonderful book, or did you have some other message in mind for your readers to receive?

Lisa

Lisa asked Lois Lowry:

Since several of your books have had both terrific success and critical acclaim, is it difficult to write a new one without comparing it (and its success) to your other books? Thank you.
