Book Thief Flies from Stores

Counterclockwise from top left: Marcus Zusak (foreground), in his first bookstore appearance since an appearance on Good Morning America rocketed The Book Thief to #1 at Amazon, signs copies of his novel at Books of Wonder Saturday afternoon while fellow novelist Scott Westerfeld chats with a fan. Other participants in the event celebrating YA fiction were (from left to right) Sarah Durkee, Linzi Glass, and Justine Larbalestier. And as the audience mingled around the signing authors, Scott and Justine’s agent, Jill Grinberg (left), chatted with author E. Lockhart about the blurb Lockhart wrote for another one of Grinberg’s authors, Catherine Gilbert Murdock, and her debut novel, Dairy Queen. Afterwards, some of the crowd took off to the New York Public Library for the unveiling of the 2006 Books for the Teen Age list.
