Amber Hao asked Lois Lowry:

When you wrote "Number The Stars", "The Giver", or "Anastasia At Your Service" did you intend them to be read by a certain age group, say, teens? I am losing more and more hope on the teen fiction genre, but you are one of my favourite authors growing up and I think your books are some of the few that add depth to this genre.

Lois Lowry I think books for kids are most often enjoyed by readers of the same age , more or less, as the protaganist

Your books have become must-reads for children (and adults!). I'm curious to find out what books shaped your childhood and if you feel as though they have any lingering effect on what you write now. Thank you for taking the time to answer your fans' questions!
