Reviews

* Nate will sing and dance his way right into readers' hearts. This is an encore performance that will leave them standing in the aisles.-- "Kirkus Reviews, starred review"

*[A] funny, tender coming-of-age story, which doubles as an insider account about growing up on stage that will appeal to every budding theater geek. Encore!-- "Publishers Weekly, starred review"

[Five, Six, Seven, Nate!] provides a plot-driven, exaggerated expos� behind the scenes of a Broadway show that's sure to entertain, and it continues to use Nate's na�vet� and the zany characters of the theatre for laugh-out-loud levity...Nate's encore--an extravagant companion toTelgemeier's Drama--will certainly be applauded by his loyal fan base.-- "BCCB"

With wit and panache, Five, Six, Seven, Nate! shows us that though we may face huge obstacles, we can and should still dare to dream big. These books, like their protagonist, have a heart as big, bright, and bold as Broadway.--Anne Ursu, author of Breadcrumbs
