I'm currently reading Gossamer to my new grade 4 class in Bangkok, Thailand, and I've challenged them to come up with intriguing, thoughtful questions; here's one: Did any part of "Gossamer" link to your own life? Thanks!
Lois Lowry
Hmmm. Let's see. I am an old lady who lives alone with a dog, and I have a flower garden. Sound familiar?

Dear Miss Lowry, my question is, are there certain themes, people, events, topics, or news of any sort that influence and/or inspire your creative writings and the true, deeper meanings that each and everyone of them hold? If so, how does that shape the way you create your stories and have your readers understand the messages they bring?

Lois Lowry:
Lois, I am a fan of The Giver, I was a media specialist for the last 17 years of my 40 year teaching career and my question is this: Do you feel that many of the ideas from your book have been used in the latest books for YA readers, such as, Stefanie Collins, the Hunger Games? I recognize many similarities, does that offend you or are you honored by their works?
