What Does Lois Lowry Say about “The Giver” Film?

Omigosh, I’m having so much fun going through this book with you guys!  The actual discussion will start on Monday.

Some of you have said that you think that the movie — based on a trailer — won’t be similar enough to the book to be compelling.

Well, guess what?  Lois Lowry herself has spoken out about the movie, and she loves it!

“It’s all there. The boy. The old man. The baby. The sled. If you loved the book take my word for it — you’ll love the movie as well,” she said.

Of course, her novel won the 1994 Newbery Medal and has been printed in over 11 million copies worldwide — in 21 languages!  So, I’m sure this will provide a ton of relief for you “The Giver” fans!
