Heidi asked Lois Lowry:

Lois, do you like any of the newer dystopian novels that have come out? (e.g.: The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Maze Runner.)

Lois Lowry I haven't read many of them. But from what little I know, they are good adventure stories...most of them with a great deal of violence, which makes them different from THE GIVER

In Romania, the name of the novel and later the name of the movie was translated "Darul lui Jonas" (Jonas' gift). What do you think about this name?

Sage Okolo asked Lois Lowry:

Do you have any interest in writing screenplays? Have you ever written one, and if so, do you have advice about forming them for young writers? Thank you!!

Amy asked Lois Lowry:

With the movie just out in theaters, how do you feel about the actors that were chosen for The Giver movie and how do they compare to your view of the way the chatacters were written?
