Nick Hornby to enter the YA arena.

From the Book Standard:

The book is about Sam, a boy on the edge of adulthood who deals with a "life-altering teenage moment," falls hard for a pretty girl, and talks to his idol, champion skater Tony Hawk, or at least, talks to a poster of him, the publisher said in a release today.

Not much of a leap, really.  I've always seen High Fidelity and About a Boy as cross-overs.
