Description
Third time's a charm! Nate Foster returns home to Jankburg, Pennsylvania, to face his biggest challenge yet-high school. When the news hits that E.T.: The Musical wasn't nominated for a single Tony Award-not one!-the show closes, leaving Nate both out of luck and out of a job. And while Nate's cast mates are eager to move on (the boy he understudies already landed a role on a TV show!), Nate knows it's back to square one, also known as Jankburg, Pennsylvania. Where horror (read: high school) awaits. Desperate to turn his life from flop to fabulous, Nate takes on a huge freshman English project with his BFF, Libby: he's going to make a musical out of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations . (What could possibly go...right?) But when Nate's New York crush ghosts him, and his grades start to slip, he finds the only thing harder than being on Broadway is being a freshman - especially when you've got a secret you're desperate to sing out about. This magical conclusion to Tim Federle's beloved Nate series is a love letter to theater kids young and not-so-young-and for anyone who ever wondered if they could truly go home again. Especially when doing so means facing everything you thought you'd left behind.
