Her second novel, Please Ignore Vera Dietz, was bid on by seven different publishing houses. King chose Knopf because of editor Michelle Frey’s “vision” for the novel; other publishing houses wanted to remove the adults in the book. Please Ignore Vera Dietz was a 2011 Michael L. Printz Award Honor Book and an Edgar Allan Poe Award nominee for “Best Young Adult”. Her third young- adult novel, Everybody Sees the Ants, was named one of the Top Ten Books for Young Adults in 2012 and was an Andre Norton Award finalist. Her fourth young- adult novel, Ask the Passengers (2012), won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. It was also a Lambda Literary Award finalist, and a Library Journal Best YA Books for Adults selection. This was followed by Reality Boy in 2013, which was inspired by wondering if some children on reality television that were presented as entertainment were subject to abuse. Her 2014 novel, Glory O’Brien’s History of the Future, follows a character who is actually the daughter of the protagonist in an unpublished novel King wrote in 2004, called Why People Take Pictures.
Little, Brown has announced that King’s seventh novel, I Crawl Through It, is forthcoming in September 2015. This will be King’s first surrealist novel, a genre she feels she has been moving toward over her writing career. It has also been announced that she will have two novels coming out in 2016 and 2017 respectively, this time with Dutton Children’s Books. She will be working with Andrew Karre, who bought her first published book. Expected to be published in 2017 will also be King’s first middle grade novel, Finding Marvin Gardens. It will be published by Arthur A. Levine Books (an imprint of Scholastic) and will be written under the name of Amy Sarig King.
King won the 2011 Michael L. Printz Award Honor for Please Ignore Vera Dietz. Ask the Passengers won the annual Los Angeles Times Book Prize for young-adult literature in 2012. In 2015, she was named the “Outstanding Pennsylvania Author” for that year by the Pennsylvania School Librarians Associations; all of her novels have taken place in the state. King’s 2019 novel Dig won the 2020 Michael L. Printz Award.
