Annabelle Mallory
Annabelle Mallory asked Lois Lowry:

Do you write to further explore your subconscious mind, to get your feelings and opinions across to the reader, or to get away from reality (or any combination of the three)?

Stephania Biddings
Stephania Biddings asked Lois Lowry:

1. As a child growing up, who were some of the authors/writers that helped you to transcend as a writer? 2. Which non-conformist writer, if any, had the biggest effect on your non-conformist, futuristic writing style?

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Lois Lowry:

As an author whose work has become so integrated into wider American culture, I have wondered: what are your thoughts on how your fans have interpreted The Giver? Is there anything that you wish they had taken from the story that they seem to have missed? Is there anything that surprises or annoys you?
