Dylan Sanders asked Lois Lowry:

Why is it that classrooms and, I'm assuming, the film only focus on the first book of The Giver series? I read it 10 years ago and just recently found out that there were even three other books. What happened?

Lois Lowry There would have been no time for the film to incorporate the other books. I am kind of sorry they didn't take all four books and make a 12-part TV series..

"Number the Stars" is one of my all time favorite books, has that ever been optioned to be made into a film?
