Lois Lowry:
Each book in the Giver series starts from a different perspective and location, and as time goes on the stories begin to merge. Personally I love that they don't completely give away what really happened in the first novel, but I'd like to know if there's a reason why you decided to start each book at a different location and follow a different character before bringing all of these individual stories together?

Lois Lowry:
I absolutely LOVE The Giver Quartet. My book club (made up of teachers) read the entire series this summer. The Giver is required reading for our 8th graders - but Messenger and Son moved me beyond belief. My friend and I wondered if Messenger has a connection to Christianity? We felt the character "Matty" might be loosely based on the life of Jesus. Any truth to that?
