Karolina
Karolina asked Lois Lowry:

I remember first reading the Anastasia series at age ten or eleven and enjoying it immensely Recently I decided to reread the books and I think I have enjoyed it even better, being able to notice the literary allusions. My question is: did you intend the book to have a double intended-audience, the child and the adult? Do you have a picture of the future reader in mind? Does it vary from book to book?

Kiri Dawn
Kiri Dawn asked Lois Lowry:

Your books are childhood favorites of mine! But I've always found it slightly confusing that The Giver seems to be pure dystyopia while the other three incorporate elements of fantasy. When did you decide to turn the series into fantasy? Or would you consider The Giver fantasy, as well?

Amber Hao
Amber Hao asked Lois Lowry:

You write for children and young adults, what do you think are the most important elements in novels for this age-group?
