Hello, it’s [Lois Lowry](http://loislowry.com/). I am the author of more than forty books of fiction; I write for young people but I hear from people of all ages about my books. My novels include *The Giver* and *Number the Stars,* both of which received Newbery Medals; I also wrote the Anastasia Krupnik series, which are being reissued in paperback.
Please feel free to ask me anything on the thread below. **I will be here to respond starting at 4 PM ET today.**
