Tuesday, June 24, 6:30 PM Greenlight Young Readers Book Group discusses Better Nate Than Ever

Led by former Greenlight bookseller Brette, this book group is geared toward kids ages 8 to 14, and reads great contemporary and classic chapter books. Parents are welcome (but not required) to attend; pizza is served. For June, the group discusses Better Nate Than Ever by Tim Federle, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Publishers' Weekly Best Book of the Year, and a Slate Favorite Book of the Year in 2013. Nate Foster has big dreams. His whole life, he's wanted to star in a Broadway show. (Heck, he'd settle for "seeing" a Broadway show.) But how is Nate supposed to make his dreams come true when he's stuck in Jankburg, Pennsylvania, where no one (except his best pal Libby) appreciates a good show tune? With Libby's help, Nate plans a daring overnight escape to New York. There's an open casting call for "E.T.: The Musical," and Nate knows this could be the difference between small-town blues and big-time stardom. Tim Federle's "hilarious and heartwarming debut novel" (Publishers Weekly) is full of broken curfews, second chances, and the adventure of growing up – because sometimes you have to get four hundred miles from your backyard to finally feel at home.
