The Collectors: Stories

**MICHAEL L. PRINTZ MEDAL WINNTER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From A.S. King and an all-star team of contributors comes an anthology of stories about remarkable people and their strange and surprising collections. “An eclectic, poignant, and introspective treasure trove.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Masterfully collected and worth slowing down to absorb.”—School Library Journal, starred review** From David Levithan’s story about a non-binary kid collecting pieces of other people’s collections to Jenny Torres Sanchez’s tale of a girl gathering types of fire while trying not to get burned to G. Neri’s piece about 1970s skaters seeking opportunities to go vertical— anything can be collected and in the hands of these award-winning and bestselling authors, any collection can tell a story. Nine of the best YA novelists working today have written fiction based on a prompt from Printz winner A.S. King (who also contributes a story) and the result is itself an extraordinary collection.
