Review by Jack T.
Who would like this book? I would recommend it to ages 11-15. It’s a great sports fiction book. I recommend it to sport fiction readers.
The goods on this book: Nate Brodie, an eighth grade star quarterback is going through a lot of problems. His golden arm is not so golden anymore. His friend Abby starts to go blind. His dad loses his job and works two times a day. Nate’s mom has to work, and Nate never sees his father much. Nate loses his starting spot at quarterback and plays wide receiver. Nate gets picked to throw a million dollar throw on Thanksgiving at a Patriots game. Now he has a chance to help his family and Abby. He is on the field and Tom Brady gives Nate some last second tips before he throws it. Will he make the throw? Mike Lupica does a great job again.
The details: 244 pages; 2009
