The Collectors: an Anthology

From Michael L. Printz Award winner A.S. King and an all-star team of contributors including Anna-Marie McLemore and Jason Reynolds, this anthology features stories about remarkable people and their strange and surprising collections. David Levithan's story explores a non-binary kid collecting pieces of other people's collections, while Jenny Torres Sanchez tells the tale of a girl gathering types of fire while trying not to get burned. G. Neri's piece focuses on 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, resulting in an extraordinary collection. M. T. Anderson, e. E. Charlton-Trujillo, A.S. King, David Levithan, Cory McCarthy, Anna-Marie McLemore, G. Neri, Jason Reynolds, Randy Ribay, and Jenny Torres Sanchez have each penned a surprising and provocative tale.
