More Details

Summary:

"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 best-selling 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"-- [Book jacket]
