Nate has loved everything about being on Broadway, but when his show
closes, he must return to the Pittsburgh suburbs his family calls home.
He dreads attending public high school, but is surprised to find that
it’s not quite what he expected. His Broadway experience seems to have
given him a certain amount of... could it be? ... popularity? As he
attempts to stage an ambitious musical version of
Great Expectations with the help of long-time bestie Libby, he starts to worry that his secret New York City boyfriend is pulling away from him.
A
fun ending to Federle’s Nate series. Though Nate is a little older than
he was in the first book, the tone and content are still appropriate
for upper elementary and middle school readers. I thought the character
development was lacking a bit, especially concerning a certain new
relationship, where I just didn’t feel any emotional connection. Still,
I’d recommend this to readers who enjoyed the first two books.
(Reviewed from a copy borrowed through my library system.)
