From Michael L. Printz Award winner A.S. King and an all-star team of contributors including Anna-Marie McLemore and Jason Reynolds, an anthology of stories about remarkable people and their strange and surprising collections. From David Levithans story about a non-binary kid collecting pieces of other peoples 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 verticalanything 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. 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.

Nine powerhouse authors have contributed to this collection of weird stories about collections for teens. I was so pleased to see that YALSA chose this as the latest Printz winner! Every story is strong yet I have a favourite: David Levithan writes about a boy who steals from other people‘s collections… but only the least valuable item. #YA #shortstories

MaureenMc The Levithan story plot reminds me of this novel

Alas, my personal pattern of better luck with short story collections written by only one author continues. Unsurprisingly, I loved the Jason Reynolds story. The Penelope/Odyssey take in the first story was an interesting starting point. I think those are my pros. They were all a little darker than I was hoping. A few had pretty blatant messaging. The 'collection/collector' as theme could get pretty loose in application. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 I'm glad I finally tried something written (editor and one of the contributors) by A.S. King, but my concern that her writing (based on others' description of her previous books) would venture a little too far into the surreal for my enjoyment seems to have been borne out by this experience. I got some of what I think she was hoping to convey, but it was a struggle.
