小鎮男孩跳上巴士前往紐約,參加音樂劇《E.T.》演員徵選!

奈特心裡藏著好大的夢想:自有記憶以來,他一直想成為百老匯劇場的明星。(老天,說不定讓他親眼看一場百老匯秀就超滿足。)不過奈特困在這個小鎮,怎麼可能實現夢想呢?除了他的死黨莉碧,根本沒有其他人懂得欣賞一首好曲子!

於是在莉碧的協助下,奈特計劃一趟大膽的冒險,他要搭巴士漏夜前往紐約。音樂劇《E.T.》將有一場公開演員徵選,奈特明白這是跨越小鎮藍調,成為貨真價實巨星的關鍵契機!

Tim Federle這部溫暖機智的首作小說裡,充滿了違規、第二次機會與長大歷經的冒險——因為有時候,你必須離家四百哩才能找到真正的歸屬。

"A story of Broadway dreams tailor-made for the younger side of the Glee audience...Nate is a quirky and endearing leading man from the start, and anyone who has ever felt out of place will easily identify with him. It’s a joy to watch him fall head over heels for a city that couldn’t care less about him—in the best possible way...Federle’s debut addresses—deftly—big and solemn issues in the second half of the novel, particularly with regard to family, sexuality and religion. Bravo, Nate!"——科克斯評論
