Great Book: “Five, Six, Seven, Nate!” By Tim Federle

As a sequel to the charming Better Nate than Never that featured a 13-year-old boy following his dreams from Pittsburgh to Broadway, Five, Six, Seven, Nate!, written by former Broadway dancer Tim Federle, has the character Nate Foster starting his rehearsals for “E.T.: The Broadway Musical.” The sequel to the original story—a tale about the importance of following your dreams and ignoring the bullies—is funny and heartwarming.
