Take A Bow, Noah Mitchell is a delightful coming-of-age story that filled my stomach with all the butterflies I could ever want from a YA rom-com. It does not shy away from the real stuff, but having the chance to follow Noah through this tricky, awkward, lovely part of his life left me with such an overwhelming sense of joy. It is sharp, tender, witty, surprising – all the things! And a reminder of how good life can be when you push (or are pushed) outside your comfort zone.
Kay Kerr author of SOCIAL QUEUE
Finally! This is the gaymer stage novel we’ve been waiting for. Exhilaratingly magical, excruciatingly real, and enchanting as an elven bard.
Anna Whateley author of PETA LYRE'S RATING NORMAL
A swoony showstopper of a story about theatre and the things that help us find our people (and ourselves). It’s funny, fearless and so very heartwarming. Take a Bow, Noah Mitchell is a showmance I didn’t want to ever end. I loved it!
Rhiannon Wilde author of HENRY HAMLET'S HEART
Take a Bow, Noah Mitchell is one of the best books I’ve read all year. This is a charming gay YA rom-com bursting with heart and loaded with humour, but it transcends romance: at its core, this is a brilliantly-written, coming-of-age tale about all the bruises and blessings that come with growing up. Noah and Eli are real, vulnerable characters that readers will fall in love with. With this book, Tobias Madden has cemented his place as one of the new powerhouses in Australian YA fiction and I can’t wait to read what he writes next. Outstanding!
Holden Sheppard author of INVISIBLE BOYS
An authentic story that is completely charming, wholesome and smile-inducing . . . Those who couldn’t get enough of Red, White and Royal Blue, Heartstopper and Madden’s first book Anything But Fine will thoroughly enjoy his second novel.
Lisa Schuurman, Books + Publishing
Take a Bow, Noah Mitchell is a showstopping adventure. With a witty, relatable protagonist and a tender yet fearless approach to tough topics, this story is perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Julian Winters.
