This is one of those books I wish I'd had back then, for so many reasons.Īnd plus, because I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this, the fact that this is LGBT middle grade fiction is basically the best thing ever. The kind that makes you think about when YOU were a kid and you lived and breathed the Phantom of the Opera for like a year and thought you were going to play the Phantom on Broadway even though you were a girl and couldn't sing that well. With his big dreams, his love of musical theatre, and a heck of a lot of nerve, he's one of those unforgettable characters. think about Ramona Quimby or Junie B Jones, and tell me you don't feel something for how perfectly dramatic and intense and REAL their childhoods were. I mean, not that you can't have them in other age groupings/genres, but. One thing that I love about middle grade is the larger-than-life characters. A former Broadway dancer, Tim was born in San Francisco, grew up in Pittsburgh, and now divides his time between Los Angeles and the internet. He cowrote the Broadway musical adaptation of Tuck Everlastingand won the Humanitas Prize for cowriting the Golden Globe and Academy Award–nominated Best Animated Feature Ferdinand, starring John Cena and Kate McKinnon. Tim’s hit series of cocktail recipe books, including Tequila Mockingbird, have sold over half a million copies worldwide. The film stars Aria Brooks, Joshua Bassett, Lisa Kudrow, and Rueby Wood as Nate. A film adaptation of Nate, written and directed by Federle, will premiere on Disney+ in spring 2022. His novels include the New York Times Notable Book Better Nate Than Ever and its Lambda Literature Award–winning sequel-which Lin-Manuel Miranda called “a wonderful evocation of what it’s like to be a theater kid” (New York Times). Tim Federle is the showrunner and executive producer of High School Musical: the Musical: the Series, which he created for Disney+.
