Tim Federle to Release Five, Six, Seven, Nate!, the Sequel to Better Nate Than Ever, in January 2014

Broadway dancer Tim Federle will once again channel his musical theater memories into another stage-themed coming-of-age young adult novel. Five, Six, Seven, Nate!, the sequel to 2013's bestselling Better Nate Than Ever, will pick up right where the cliffhanger ending of the first book leaves off. Five, Six, Seven, Nate! is slated for a January 21, 2014 release and can be pre-ordered on Amazon.

In Five, Six, Seven, Nate!, Nate Foster’s landed on Broadway at last—but can he stay there long enough to make his dreams come true? Nate has come a long way from Jankburg, Pennsylvania. His stellar audition landed him the role of second understudy for E.T. in E.T.: The Broadway Musical, and he’s living the dream. But all is not perfect in Broadway paradise. Nate isn’t as Broadway-trained as the other kids in the ensemble, and it shows. And his nemesis, Jordan Rylance—playing the starring role of Eliot—is doing his best to make Nate’s life as hard as possible. With his dreams on the line, can Nate pull it together before he’s sent home?

Federle's Broadway credits include Billy Elliot, Gypsy, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Little Mermaid. His debut novel, Better Nate Than Ever, was named a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice and an Amazon Best Book of 2013. Federle also sold a picture book, Tommy Can't Stop, and published a novelty cocktail recipe book, Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist.
