amanda asked 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 was fascinated by all the different possibliities that existed

I was ecstatic when I looked and found that there were 3 more books following The Giver. The ending of used to nag at me because it was a toss up as to whether it was a happy ending or not, and to find that in fact Jonas and Gabe did make it was great. But I was wondering if you originally planned for it to be a series, or was it a response to the public begging for closure?
