This is Push: New Stories from the Edge

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. --Publishers Weekly
