Five, Six, Seven, Nate!

In the sequel to Better Nate Than Ever, Nate’s landed on Broadway at last—but can he stay there long enough to make his dreams come true?

Nate Foster has come a long way from Jankburg, Pennsylvania. His stellar audition landed him the role of second understudy for E.T. in E.T.: The Broadway Musical, and he’s living the dream. But all is not perfect in Broadway paradise. Nate isn’t as Broadway-trained as the other kids in the ensemble, and it shows. And his nemesis, Jordan Rylance—playing the starring role of Eliot—is doing his best to make Nate’s life as hard as possible. With his dreams on the line, can Nate pull it together before he’s sent home?

This companion to Better Nate Than Ever, which Kirkus Reviews called “a story of Broadway dreams tailor-made for the younger side of the Glee audience,” is a smash hit that appeals to anyone who’s ever been determined to make their aspirations a reality.
