Reviews for The Collectors: Stories: (Printz Medal Winner)

"★ ""An eclectic, poignant, and introspective treasure trove.""—Kirkus, starred review ★ ""Masterfully collected and worth slowing down to absorb.""—SLJ, starred review ""King proclaims, in an introduction, that 'there is currency in weirdness'; by turns darkly cheeky and piercingly perceptive, this moody and existential grouping of stories lives up to the statement.""—Publishers Weekly"
