Printz Award 2020

Dig by A.S. King

Dig
By A.S. King

Winner of the 2020 Michael L. Printz Award for excellence in Young Adult Literature is A.S. King's Dig -- published by Penguin Random House.

"King’s narrative concerns are racism, patriarchy, colonialism, white privilege, and the ingrained systems that perpetuate them. . . . [Dig] will speak profoundly to a generation of young people who are waking up to the societal sins of the past and working toward a more equitable future."
— Horn Book Review

"With her inimitable surrealism and insight into teenage experience, A.S. King explores how a corrosive culture of polite, affluent white supremacy tears a family apart and how one determined generation can save themselves." 
— by , School library Journal - Teen Librarian Toolbox


From the publisher:
Five teenagers’ disparate lives weave together, unveiling long-buried secrets within a complex shared history. King’s surrealistic narrative confronts themes of white privilege and its dark legacies.
