What They're Saying
Critics Review
Winner of the Michael L. Printz Award
★ “An eclectic, poignant, and introspective treasure trove.“—Kirkus, starred review
★ “Masterfully collected and worth slowing down to absorb.“—SLJ, starred review
★ “[H]ere is a collection notable for the uniform excellence of 10 of its stories, which come from such distinguished creators as M. T. Anderson, David Levithan, Anna-Marie McLemore, Jason Reynolds, and its inimitable editor, King herself…[Readers] will revel in this wonderfully genre-defying, offbeat book that is one of the most original of the year.”—Booklist, 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
