Nate Foster has big dreams. His whole life, he’s wanted to star in a Broadway show. (Heck, he'd settle for *seeing* a Broadway show.) But how is Nate supposed to make his dreams come true when he’s stuck in Jankburg, Pennsylvania, where no one (except his best pal Libby) appreciates a good show tune? With 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.

This book had me at Broadway and E.T.: The Musical and that fab cover! Seriously, that cover makes we wanna jazz hands all over the place *dances*. I can't wait to read this middle-grade book and meet Nate and Libby. I'm also excited to get the chance to interview the author, Tim Federle in Feb., so look for that next year!
