As you started writing Gathering Blue, did you know that it was going to lead into The Messenger and eventually tie The Giver's loose ends up? The multiple story lines in the sequels were amazing. At first, I was completely unaware that the books would continue off one another! Movie sequels?
Lois Lowry
I doubt if there will be movie sequels. But one never knows!

Lois Lowry:
While reading Son, my class and I had many questions about the settings in the book. There was such a contrast in each of the communities. We were wondering how one community could be progressive, like jet planes and then the other be so primitive, - no schools or doctors. How could these communities be so different from each other? Were they in the same dimension?

Lois Lowry:
Ms. Lowry, Thank you for your wonderful contributions to YA literature! I will be studying THE GIVER with my eighth grade students this year. One of our essential questions for the book is about the impact of shared memories on identity and unity in a group. Do you have any thoughts about this that you would be willing to share with my students? Thank you!
