Amy Sarig King is the author of the middle grade titles Me and Marvin Gardens, a Washington Post Best Book of the Year, and The Year We Fell From Space, an ALSC Notable Children’s Book. She has also published many critically acclaimed young adult novels under the name A.S. King, including Please Ignore Vera Dietz, a Michael L. Printz Honor Book; Ask the Passengers, Los Angeles Times Book Prize winner; and Michael L. Printz Award winner and LA Times Book Prize finalist Dig.

Amy was incensed to find that an elementary school library book had certain words blacked out. Her pursuit of the book’s censorship with the school’s principal was met with indifference and the idea for her latest middle grade novel, ATTACK OF THE BLACK RECTANGLES, was born.

She is the recipient of the 2022 Margaret A. Edwards Award for a lasting contribution to young adult literature.
