He and his best friend Libby know all of the songs to all of the musicals ever written, and even talk in a sort of musical show shorthand. When they find out that there are going to be auditions for the musical version of E. T., they concoct a secret plan for Nate to go to NYC by himself to try out for the part of Elliott.    (Vermont Dorothy Canfield Fisher award, 2015)
