Million-Dollar Throw — Mike Lupica

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?
