Alexis asked Lois Lowry:

I loved the Giver when I read it a few years ago especially the main character, Jonas. Do you believe that you possess similar characteristics as Jonas? If so, what are they?

Lois Lowry Yes: integrity, curiosity would be two.

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!
