About this ebook

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of HEAT and TRAVEL TEAM.

Everyone calls Nate Brodie "Brady" because he's a New England quarterback, just like his idol, Tom Brady. And now he's got a chance to win a million dollars by throwing one pass through a target at halftime in the Patriots; Thanksgiving night game. More than anything, Nate's family needs the money—his dad's been downsized, his mom's working two jobs, and they're on the verge of losing their house. The worry is more weight than a 13-year-old can bear, and it's affecting his playing for his own football team. Suddenly the boy with the golden arm is having trouble completing a pass . . . but can he make the one that really counts?

Ratings and reviews

I recommend reading this book if you love to read about sports. & it's not even all about football, it teaches you other things as well. But to find out what those things are, you have to read the book. ;)

Best book I ever read. I've read other books before but they weren't as interesting as Million Dollar Throw.

I think that this book shows how a character of one person can make a difference in many ways. Nate shows bravery when he deals with Abby becoming blind. So I am glad I read this book.
