Anita asked Lois Lowry:

Thank you for the Giver series! My children read The Giver in 5th grade; now that they are 18 & 21, they still maintain that it is one of the most influential books that they ever read. Personally, I have suggested the series for my own book club as it speaks to all ages. Do you believe that the books (The Giver in particular) are more relevant now than when they were first published? Why or why not?

Karolina

Karolina asked Lois Lowry:

I remember first reading the Anastasia series at age ten or eleven and enjoying it immensely Recently I decided to reread the books and I think I have enjoyed it even better, being able to notice the literary allusions. My question is: did you intend the book to have a double intended-audience, the child and the adult? Do you have a picture of the future reader in mind? Does it vary from book to book?

Hello! I teach eighth grade English, and my students read The Giver and love it! I am also starting a creative writing class this year, so I'm wondering what your #1 piece of advice to young writers would be. Thanks!
