This Is PUSH: New Stories from the Edge, edited by David Levithan, pushes the envelope-in honor of its namesake, the PUSH imprint, which celebrates a five-year anniversary this month. The authors, well known for their innovative novels' structures and themes, include Patricia McCormick (Sold), Kevin Brooks (Martyn Pig), Markus Zusak (The Book Thief), Chris Wooding (The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray) and Coe Booth (Tyrell); their themes range from a blind date between two most unusual parties who bemoan the demise of the human race, to a powerful new high school student establishing his territory.

David Levithan has said that with Boy Meets Boy, he "set out to write the book that I dreamed of getting as an editor -- a book about gay teens that doesn't conform to the old norms about gay teens in literature." According to the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers program -- and his rabid readers of all ages -- he's succeeded.
