A Million Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica

Review

So, after a week of college stress and homework, I went to my To-be-Read shelf and found a fantastic read!!! Ironically I am not a sports person, but I adore reading sport-themed books! From football to baseball I love them all! And Mike Lupica writes some of the best sports books out there!!!!!

This book is about Nate, and ordinary boy with an ordinary life expect he won a chance to throw a football through a target to win a million dollars. Now his life is a bit upside down when he realizes his family needs the money, his football team is stressing him out, and his best friend in the whole wide world is having her whole life change right in front of her eyes. Nate is trying to piece together his life, but what he really needs right now?… A million dollars…

This book was fantastic! It was interesting, fun to read, had plenty of football action and a great outlook on life. The plot line was amazing, I loved the characters and the story was just plain awesome!!!!!!!!! There are some realistic parts, mention of his parents working twice as hard to save their house, working 2 jobs each, as well as his best friend going through some health issues that could changer her life. I think this book is perfectly fine for boys 10 and up who love a good sport book! As well as being a great book for girls 10 and up who love reading about sports as well!!!

Overall, this book was sooooooo good! It was inspiring, funny, interesting and such a great book for kids! I totally suggest it and I hope you all have a Hat-tastic Day! -The Young Llama Reader.
