Riassunto

Billy Elliot meets Glee! Tim Federle's warm and witty debut is the story of small-town boy Nate as he follows his dreams and learns to be his own best self. "Judy Blume as seen through a Stephen Sondheim lens." Huffington Post Billy Elliot meets Glee! in this award-winning book about a small-town boy with big ambitions. Thirteen-year-old Nate Foster has always wanted to star in a Broadway show. (In fact, he'd settle for seeing a Broadway show.) With best pal Libby's help, Nate plans a daring overnight escape to New York. There's an open casting call for E.T.: The Musical, and Nate knows this could be the difference between small-town blues and big-time stardom. Tim Federle's hilarious and touching debut is full of broken curfews, second chances and the adventure of growing up - because sometimes you have to get four hundred miles from your back garden to finally feel at home.

Recensione:

"I can't stop reading this book! Nate Foster's hilarious and touching adventures en route to making it big on Broadway just kill me--I'm falling in love with New York City all over again, and with Nate for the first time. Please, Tim Federle, take a break before writing your next book, so I'll have time to write mine. I can only hope it's half as much fun as "Better Nate Than Ever"!" --James Howe, author of The Misfits

"Nate Foster is another endlessly lovable underdog, a Broadway-obsessed outsider in his (perfectly-named) town of Jankburg, Pennsylvania who takes a secret journey to New York City to audition for ET: The Musical. Nate's genuine wit sparkles on every page [...] and it's beyond heart-warming to experience his discovery of a world where he finally feels like he belongs." --The Guardian

"Nate is an endearing and determined character, and Federle creates a voice that is both witty and naïve [...] this is a book that is sure to appeal to any reader with an interest in musical theatre or Broadway." --Inis Reading Guide
