Lois, I've loved reading your novels over the years. My personal favorite has always been "The Silent Boy." I was curious which novel was your favorite to write and the one you've felt most connected to throughout your years of writing...one you are most happy is out there? Thanks!

Lois Lowry I love THE SILENT BOY as well! Thank you!

Julie Brown asked Lois Lowry:

Lois, I love using The Giver, Number the Stars, and more of your books in the classroom with my students. I am curious, though, why you let them change The Giver for the film? Not that it's a bad thing, I'm just wondering what led to that decision. Thanks, and I hope that you keep writing forever!

Michelle asked Lois Lowry:

In The Giver the kids are 12 years old when they get assigned their jobs. Why have them start at such a young age instead of being teenagers? It seems a lot of pressure for someone like Jonas to take on the roll of Receiver.
