About This Book
ONE THROW...
ONE MILLION DOLLARS
Everyone calls Nate Brodie "Brady" because he's a New England quarterback, just like his idol, Tom Brady, and is almost as good. And now he's won a chance to win a million dollars by throwing one pass through a target at halftime of a Patriots 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 thirteen-year-old can bear, and it's affecting his play 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?
