More About This Book

Overview

What would you do with a million dollars, if you were 13?

Nate Brodie is nicknamed "Brady" not only for his arm, but also because he's the biggest Tom Brady fan. He's even saved up to buy an autographed football. And when he does, he wins the chance for something he's never dreamed of - to throw a pass through a target at a Patriots game for one million dollars.

Nate should be excited. But things have been tough lately. His dad lost his job and his family is losing their home. It's no secret that a million dollars would go a long way. So all Nate feels is pressure, and just when he needs it most, his golden arm begins to fail him. Even worse, his best friend Abby is going blind, slowly losing her ability to do the one thing she loves most - paint. Yet Abby never complains, and she is Nate's inspiration. He knows she'll be there when he makes the throw of a lifetime.

Mike Lupica's latest sports novel is also his most heartwarming.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

To win a million dollars all 13-year-old Nate Brodie has to do is to throw a football through a target at a Patriots half-time event. But with dad now unemployed and the family losing its house, tons of pressure rest squarely on the young man's shoulders. Now in paperback; a perfect touchdown as we head into Super Bowl season.

Publishers Weekly
In 2005, an army veteran won $1 million by throwing a football through a target during a halftime show at a college football game. Lupica (The Big Field) inserts a 13-year-old in the contestant role and moves the action to Massachusetts, where QB Nate Brodie stars for his eighth-grade team and idolizes the New England Patriots' Tom Brady. The pressure to win is intense—Nate's father has lost his job, the house is close to foreclosure, and his best friend, Abby, needs money to go to a special school since she is rapidly going blind. Though the entire cast is a bit too perfect, many kids will relate to Nate's fears about his family's finances: “You were going along, having what felt like a pretty cool life, and then all of a sudden came the economy trying to wreck everything.” The ups and downs of Nate's peewee football team provide sports play-by-play, but the thread that will pull readers through is whether Nate can save his and Abby's families with one well-aimed spiral on Thanksgiving night. Ages 10–up. (Nov.)

From The Critics
Lupica injects plenty of suspenseful sports action into the plot and creates a cast of uniformly likable characters whose faith in teamwork and in each other ultimately earns handsome rewards for all.

    MIllion-Dollar Throw is a slam dunk

    I must admit we listened to the book on audio tape while going on a trip. It was hilarious and a wonderful life lesson book. It touches on relationships between friends and family members as well as the challenges life can throw you. It's a book ideal for both boys and girls-don't let the cover fool you.

    We highly recco. this book. It's a great winter break read and is most likely in the AR reading programs at schools.

    Book title and author: The Million Dollar Throw by: Mike Lupica
    Title of review: The Boy with the Golden Arm
    Number of stars (1 to 5): 4 out of 5

    The Million Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica. This is a very good book. It¿s the perfect book for middle school boy. Especially if you like football or play football, then this is a book you want to read.

    Nate Brodie was your average kid, but when it comes to football he is becomes no averaged kid. He was the star quarter back in the league. Nate and his best friend Abby went to this sport store to see what new things they got. While they were in the store Abby signed Nate up for a contest to make a throw on an NFL field and try to get it through a little hole to win one-million dollars. Now Abby has a problem with her sight, she is completely blind at night and in the future could become blind if she doesn¿t get this very expensive surgery. The money could help Nate¿s parents and Abby.

    There aren¿t a lot of characters in this book. The characters are Nate Brodie, Mr. and Mrs. Brodie, Abby, her mom, coach, and Nate¿s teammates. The theme of the book is you can do anything if you believe. The story takes place in Boston, Massachusetts in present day.

    The reason I wrote a review on this book is because it is a good book to read. Hopefully from my review I will get more people to read this wonderful book. Also it is a great book for football players. This could change the way people think about football or just the way you think about things in general.

    I gave this book four out of five stars. I didn¿t give it five out of five because there were places in the book that could have been better. What I mean by this is that in some places the book was being too descriptive, and in other places it didn¿t describe things enough and would leave you confused. In some parts.

    Another hit by Mike Lupica

    Another great read by Mike Lupica. Eighth-grader Brady is following in his idol Tom Brady's footsteps, quarterbacking his team to stardom. Life should be good, but his dad las lost his job and his best friend, Abby, is losing her eyesight. When Brady is selected to compete in a contest at a Patriots' game, attempting to throw a football through a target to win $1 million, he thinks winning the contest will help out both his family and Abby. But the pressure becomes overwhelming and Brady can't get his ball to connect with a receiver. Middle school boys will enjoy this book, as will girl athletes.
