тАЬThe Nate series by Tim Federle is a wonderful evocation of what itтАЩs like to be a theater kid. Highly recommended.тАЭ тАФLin-Manuel Miranda, star and creator of the musical, Hamilton

Third timeтАЩs a charm! Nate Foster returns home to Jankburg, Pennsylvania, to face his biggest challenge yetтАФhigh schoolтАФin this final novel in the Lambda Literary AwardтАУwinning Nate trilogy, which The New York Times calls тАЬinspired and inspiring.тАЭ
When the news hits that E.T.: The Musical wasnтАЩt nominated for a single Tony AwardтАФnot one!тАФthe show closes, leaving Nate both out of luck and out of a job. And while NateтАЩs cast mates are eager to move on (the boy he understudies already landed a role on a TV show!), Nate knows itтАЩs 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: heтАЩs going to make a musical out of Charles DickensтАЩs Great Expectations. (What could possibly goтАжright?) But when NateтАЩs 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 тАФ especially when youтАЩve got a secret youтАЩre desperate to sing out about.
This magical conclusion to Tim FederleтАЩs beloved Nate series is a love letter to theater kids young and not-so-youngтАФand for anyone who ever wondered if they could truly go home again. Especially when doing so means facing everything you thought youтАЩd left behind.
