The Collectors: Stories Summary

The Collectors: Stories by A.S. King

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 1970's 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.

The Collectors: Stories Reviews

An eclectic, poignant, and introspective treasure trove.-Kirkus, starred review

Masterfully collected and worth slowing down to absorb.-SLJ, starred review

King proclaims, in an introduction, that 'there is currency in weirdness'; by turns darkly cheeky and piercingly perceptive, this moody and existential grouping of stories lives up to the statement.-Publishers Weekly
