The Million Dollar Kick

De: Dan Gutman

Narrado por: Christina Moore

The great news: The prize is $1 million! With it, 13-year-old Whisper Nelson could buy jewelry, clothes, and pay for college. She could even send her sister to college! To win, she must kick a goal past a professional soccer player. The bad news: She hates sports - all sports - with a passion!

After her infamous soccer goal four years ago, to the other team's advantage, Whisper vowed to never play sports again. Afraid of, yet again, looking like a total failure in front of a crowd of people, Whisper has a tough choice to make. Will she try the kick?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Once again the author works into the story line a plethora of tips and facts about the game, making this a book for reluctant players and soccer fans alike." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Gutman paints a sharp, funny portrait of middle-school society. The dialogue rings true and the various cliques and subgroups will strike a familiar chord with adolescent readers. This is an exciting sports story with a compelling message about individuality and self-confidence, as well as a touch of romance." ( School Library Journal)

So good

It is so awesome and cool 🆒 it is so fun to Liston to 😄def get it and maybe also try other book in seres

Awesome storyline!!!

I loved the leading up to the kick. I loved the characters and the challenges. She should’ve missed the kick because it was predictable and mundane that she scored it. But other than that wonderful story!
