Publisher Description

Award-winning journalist and ESPN personality Mike Lupica crafts a moving tale of perseverance, loyalty, and of the hope that rides on one pressure-packed football toss.

If 13-year-old Nate Brodie can throw a football through a small target at a Patriots game, he will win a million dollars. Since his dad just lost his job, Nate welcomes the opportunity - at first. Yet as he practices for the big day, he faces great pressure and must draw strength from his dear friend Abby, who never complains - even though she's slowly losing her sight.

    " Great sports book, and I'm not a huge sports fan. It is also a bit more than your average sports book. It has the somewhat absurd plot about a middle school kid who has a chance to win the million dollar throw during the half time of a professional football game. However, the meat of the story is about the various pressures on a young athlete and young person in general: sports, the economy, family, and friendships. Really thoughtful book. "

Great story that is so present day. This would be a great read for boys. They would love all the football. "

    " This was a good book, but i felt that the only conflict was the stress felt by the protagonist. if i wanted to read about a conflicted character, i would read the catcher in the rye. "

    " I thought the author didn't dig deeply. He also jumped around too much. Every chapter is a new story. The author could keep your mind on two things in the book very good. Lupica also made things seem not to obvious. The events in order I thought wasn't very good. "
