What would you do with a million dollars, if you were 13?
Nate Brodie is nicknamed “Brady” not only for his arm, but
also because he’s the biggest Tom Brady fan. He’s even saved
up to buy an autographed football. And when he does, he wins
the chance for something he’s never dreamed of—to throw a
pass through a target at a Patriots game for one million
dollars. Nate should be excited. But things have been tough
lately. His dad lost his job and his family is losing their
home. It’s no secret that a million dollars would go a long
way. So all Nate feels is pressure, and just when he needs
it most, his golden arm begins to fail him. Even worse, his
best friend Abby is going blind, slowly losing her ability
to do the one thing she loves most—paint. Yet Abby never
complains, and she is Nate’s inspiration. He knows she’ll be
there when he makes the throw of a lifetime. Mike Lupica’s
latest sports novel is also his most heartwarming.
