Take a Bow, Noah Mitchell

All Noah Mitchell wants is to meet his online crush, MagePants69, IRL. He knows the boy lives in the same small town, but his crush’s overprotective parent won’t ever let them meet. So on a hunch when M’s offline obligations start matching Noah’s mother’s rehearsals, Noah decide to join the musical for a shot at love.

Used to being ignored at home and bullied at school, the theatre is even more than Noah bargained for. While Noah does get closer to his crush – Eli – Noah doesn’t want to risk revealing their online connection and ruining their friendship for romance until he’s sure it’s true love.

But when all Noah’s secrets come spilling out after the debut performance, he must pick up the pieces and finally sort out who can be forgiven, what love is worth saving, and what it means to stand up for himself.
