Nate Foster has big dreams. His whole life, he\'s wanted to star in a Broadway show. (Heck, he\'d settle for seeing a Broadway show.) But how is Nate supposed to make his dreams come true when he\'s stuck in Jankburg, Pennsylvania, where no one (except his best pal Libby) appreciates a good show tune? With Libby\'s help, Nate plans a daring overnight escape to New York. There\'s an open casting call for E.T.: The Musical, and Nate knows this could be the difference between small-town blues and big-time stardom.Tim Federle\'s \"hilarious and heartwarming debut novel\" (Publishers Weekly) is full of broken curfews, second chances, and the adventure of growing up--because sometimes you have to get four hundred miles from your backyard to finally feel at home.
