  • Better Nate Than Ever Free
    FREE BETTER NATE THAN EVER PDF Tim Federle | 296 pages | 21 Feb 2014 | SIMON & SCHUSTER | 9781442446915 | English | New York, United States Book for Kids Raises Eyebrows Over Young Gay Character | HuffPost The plot centers on Nate Foster, a year-old musical theater Better Nate Than Ever who runs away from his Pennsylvania home to audition for "E. Upon his arrival in Big Apple, Nate meets the colorful denizens of Manhattan's theater world -- from child prodigies to rigid casting directors and ultra-conniving stage mothers -- but he never looks back on his dreams of Broadway glory. Check out Tim Federle's 10 Nate inspirations in the slideshow below, then scroll down to keep reading:. Despite its hero's whimsical journey, Federle's literary debut has a more realistic core than "Pitch Perfect," with twice the heart of a weekly "Glee" episode. To be fair, Nate's New York mishaps would be entertaining enough in their own right, but Federle adds depth and texture by exploring his pudgy protagonist's checkered family relationships and encounters with bullying. Theatrical authenticity is present in no short supply throughout the book, too; Nate substitutes the titles of Broadway flops like "Carrie" and "Dance of the Vampires" for curse words in chats with his gal pal Libby, Better Nate Than Ever his Aunt Heidi a character, Federle reveals, who was partly inspired by his "Little Mermaid" co-star Heidi Blickenstaff serves as his eventual Better Nate Than Ever Mame. Though Federle shares his passion for theater and a mid-Atlantic upbringing with his teen protagonist, he said Better Nate Than Ever is altogether more of an aspirational than autobiographical work.

  • Better Nate Than Ever by Tim Federle
    Better Nate Than Ever by Tim Federle An eighth-grader who dreams of performing in a Broadway musical concocts a plan to run away to New York and audition for the role of Elliot in the musical version of "E.T." Why you'll like it: Hilarious. Insightful. Heartfelt. About the Author: Tim Federle is "a prolific scribe whose breezy wit isn't bound to a single genre" (Huffington Post). Tim's award-winning novels include The New York Times Notable Books The Great American Whatever and the Nate series. Tim co-wrote both the Tony-nominated Broadway musical Tuck Everlasting, and the Golden Globe and Oscar-nominated Best Animated Feature Ferdinand, starring John Cena and Kate McKinnon. A native of San Francisco who grew up in Pittsburgh, Tim now divides his time between New York and the internet (@TimFederle). Questions for Discussion 1. As the novel begins, readers meet Nate and Libby in the Fosters’ backyard. After reading this first chapter, list at least three worries Nate has about his upcoming adventure to New York. Also, list at least three concerns Nate has about how life is going in Jankburg. 2. Nate and Libby use a kind of shorthand in their conversations by referring to Broadway shows and song lyrics. Can you think of any shared experiences that you and your friends or family use to communicate in a special way? Explain your answer. 3. Throughout his stay in New York City, Nate finds himself delighted by the diversity and open-mindedness of its citizens. Give at least for specific examples of this delight that makes Nate love the city more and more.
