Description
by Tim Federle
A small-town boy hops a bus to New York City to crash an audition for E.T.: The Musical.
Nate Foster has big dreams. His whole life, hes wanted to star in a Broadway show. (Heck, hed settle for seeing a Broadway show.) But how is Nate supposed to make his dreams come true when hes stuck in Jankburg, Pennsylvania, where no one (except his best pal Libby) appreciates a good show tune? With Libbys help, Nate plans a daring overnight escape to New York. Theres 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 writes a warm and witty debut that’s full of broken curfews, second chances, and the adventure of growing up – because sometimes you have to get 400 miles from your backyard to finally feel at home.
