<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Nate Brodie is nicknamed Brady, not only for his arm, but also because he's the biggest Tom Brady fan. When he gets the chance to win a million dollars by throwing a pass through a target at a Patriots game, Nate should be excited, but all he feels is pressure to succeed.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of HEAT and TRAVEL TEAM. <p/></b>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?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Million-Dollar Throw</i> </b> <p/>"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." -<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"Lupica explores the themes of believing in yourself and handling pressure.
