Million-Dollar Throw

By: Mike Lupica

Narrated by: Jeffrey Brick

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.

Critic reviews

"Lupica delivers another smooth, well-paced, character-driven novel." ( School Library Journal)

"Lupica's football action engages, and his delineation of the athlete's thought process and emotional highs and lows of competition feels visceral and real." ( Kirkus Reviews)

It’s not just about the throw

Enjoyable

Since I am a big football fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narrator did a very good job.

pretty decent.

not the best narrator i've ever heard but not bad enough to take down the rating. good storyline good characters, definitely worth the credit or money.

Best book ever!!!

It meet everything I want in a book. And has an amazing reader to it. But the best part to it was the ending.

A good story of friendships that weather good times and bad. Right on the money.
