Nate Brodie's purchase of an autographed Tom Brady football allows him to enter into a drawing for the Million Dollar Throw at a New England Patriots' game Thanksgiving night. To Nate's surprise, he wins that chance and that is when things go from bad to worse. Nate's father has lost his job, his mother has gotten a second job, his best friend's eyesight is getting worse, and he is no longer the star quarterback for his school's football team. As Thanksgiving gets closer, begins to fold under the pressure. Nate isn't sure what he is going to do to make things right because the one million dollars can make a huge difference in the life of his family and his best friend.
Lupica has done it again - he has written a wonderful story of friendship and family with the backdrop of football. This is a great sports book for boys or girls. You can't help but love the characters and how friends help one another overcome obstacles.
