The Collectors Synopsis

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.
