People collect all sorts of things, but the characters in these stories gather objects that are truly extraordinary. This fascinating anthology brings together tales from some of the best voices in young adult literature, exploring the bizarre and beautiful things people hold onto. You will encounter a teenager who collects pieces of other people's personal collections, and a girl who desperately tries to gather different types of fire without getting burned. You will even ride along with skaters in the 1970s looking for vertical spaces to claim as their own. Each story reveals a hidden truth about why we cling to the things we do and how our obsessions shape our identities. You will discover that a collection is never just a pile of objects; it is a map of a person's memories, desires, and deepest secrets. Dive into these surprising tales and explore the powerful stories hiding within the things we refuse to let go.
