Laura Gerber asked Lois Lowry:

When you came up with concept for the Giver did you already have the series in mind? If you had the concept for the series first, how did you decide how to break it up into the specific books? Thanks for considering my question.

Lois Lowry No, I only had one book in mind. The others came much later.

How are The Giver and the books in the rest of the "series" related? Is there a connection between all of them? Thanks for your response!
