Synopsis

Nate Foster has come a long way from Jankburg, Pennsylvania. His stellar audition landed him the role of second understudy for E.T. in E.T.: The Musical, and he's living the dream. But all is not perfect in Broadway paradise. Nate isn't as Broadway-trained as the other kids in the ensemble, and it shows. And his nemesis, Jordan Rylance - playing the starring role of Eliott - is doing his best to make Nate's life as hard as possible. With his dreams on the line, can Nate pull it together before he's sent home?

About this title

Review:

"With wit and panache, Five, Six, Seven, Nate! shows us that though we may face huge obstacles, we can and should still dare to dream big. These books, like their protagonist, have a heart as big, bright, and bold as Broadway."--Anne Ursu, author of Breadcrumbs

"The Nate series by Tim Federle is a wonderful evocation of what it's like to be a theater kid. Highly recommended."--Lin-Manuel Miranda, star and creator of the musical, Hamilton

*"[A] funny, tender coming-of-age story, which doubles as an insider account about growing up on stage that will appeal to every budding theater geek. Encore!"--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Readers will cheer Nate along while also relating to him because, as Nate sagely observes, Broadway is just "like a junior high school cafeteria but with more glitter."--Booklist

* "Nate will sing and dance his way right into readers' hearts. This is an encore performance that will leave them standing in the aisles."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"[Five, Six, Seven, Nate!] provides a plot-driven, exaggerated exposé behind the scenes of a Broadway show that's sure to entertain, and it continues to use Nate's naïveté and the zany characters of the theatre for laugh-out-loud levity...Nate's encore--an extravagant companion toTelgemeier's Drama--will certainly be applauded by his loyal fan base."--BCCB

"Everyone could use a little more glitter in their lives, and Nate shares his with those who are willing to celebrate that being an understudy can one day earn you top billing."--School Library Journal
