From Michael L. Printz Award winner A.S. King and an all-star team of contributors including Anna-Marie McLemore and Jason Reynolds, The Collectors: Stories is an anthology of tales about remarkable people and their strange and surprising collections.

Winner of the 2024 Michael L. Printz Award
A National Bestseller

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. 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.

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.

The collection is recognised for the excellence of its storytelling, with contributions from notable authors like M.T. Anderson and Jason Reynolds, and stands out as an original, genre-defying work. It's described as darkly cheeky and perceptive, embracing a moody and existential tone.
