Better Nate Than Ever

review 1: Now that I’ve finally met Nate Foster, I’ll need to read his next adventure, Five, Six, Seven, Nate! This was a fast read, partly because I couldn’t stop seeing how this thirteen year old was going to make it to NYC for the tryouts of ET, the Musical. His parents didn’t know, and the only one who does know, and who helps plan the escape, is his best friend, another one passionate about the theater, Libby Jones. This young boy, teased and stuffed into lockers, already being called ‘fairy’ by his older jock brother, holds onto what he loves, pushes past the hard things, and keeps his passion for musical theater no matter what. The story, including family troubles, meeting an aunt he hasn’t seen in years, the figuring out that “it’s now or never”, is terr... moreific. It makes me want to put it into the hands of young students trying to figure out who they are.
review 2: Was a little more YA than I expected, but it's nice to have a character who although is continually called a "faggot" by bullies is not identifying as gay or straight but simply being himself. He's 13 and not interested in kissing anyone. He's interested in Broadway and cooks up a plan (well, his best friend does) to go to NYC and try out for E.T. the musical. Green and new to everything NYC, it's a pleasure to tag along with Nate and discover new things about himself and his family. less
