The Collectors: Stories
by A.S. King
🏆 2024 Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature
Why do we collect things? Exploring this question, author A. S. King challenged nine of her favourite writers of YA literature to contribute a short story that celebrates the weird. The result is this eclectic collection of stories (including one from King herself), each featuring a collection and its collector. This is the first time an anthology has won the Printz Award.

The anxieties and individual stories of five teenage cousins are woven together as multigenerational secrets are revealed and an extended family implodes. Said the Printz Award Committee Chair: Dig “unapologetically explores the generational impacts of white privilege and the alienation of fractured families”.

Award-Winning Books for Teens
New books are being published for teens and young adults all the time, but the ones given the most publicity are not always the best. If you don't have much time to browse or read reviews, it tends to be a safe bet to pick award-winning books for teens that have already been quality checked by judging panels of librarians and other experts.
