Better Nate Than Ever

review 1: Nate has made it to Broadway in the first Nate book - Better Nate Than Ever! - He's the second understudy for ET in ET: The Musical, and he's anxiously awaiting opening night even 'tho he's definitely in the back of the background! But Nate is blessed with a photographic memory and in his spare time he's learned all the lines of all the actors in the show. When Nate's nemesis the star of the show, Jordan Rylance, unexpectedly looses his voice before opening night, Nate is the only one who can possibly take his place. Can Nate pull it off - and is Jordan really his nemesis afterall? Nate wonders ....
review 2: I honestly think I loved this book more than the first one in this series. "Five, Six, Seven, Nate!" begins a short while after the events of "Better... more Nate than Ever." Nate did get the job in the ensemble of "ET: The Musical," and is moving to New York with his Aunt Heidi to work on the show. In New York, Nate realizes that working on a legitimate musical is a lot harder than he dreamed it would be and struggles with this a little, but he works through it and actually ends up more successful than he thought he would ever be. This book also touches on subjects like romantic relationships and sexuality, but is handled in a delicate, adorable manner that makes it more digestible for the 9-12 year olds that this book is intended for. I know that other reviews make note of a certain scene towards the end of the book in a negative light, but I thought it was appropriate and adorable for this age group. Besides, those who thought that scene was inappropriate, if the characters in the scene were to be replaced with say, Nate and Libby, rather than Nate and *spoiler*, they would think it was darling. Overall, "Five, Six, Seven, Nate!" was a fantastic book. less
