This is an amazing book by an amazing author. It’s about a boy Named Nate ‘Brady’ Brodie. He is an extreme patriots fan and his idol is Tom Brady. He is an eighth grader, lives in Massachusetts and is on his school football team. He a star QB. The one thing nate really understands and feels comfortable is; well, is football. He has two best friends: Malcolm (for football and hard times) and Addy (for everything+football and hard times). Addy and Nate go to ‘sportsstuff’ (like Models but with a memorabilia section) and with all the money Nate has been saving up for years… he buys a ball signed by Tom Brady. It cost 500$. Then Addy saw a sign that was about a ‘Million Dollar throw’ that would have the winner sand at the 30 yard line and throw a ball into a 20’’ hole in a big ‘sportsstuff’ logo. It would happen at the Pats stadium at the ‘Thanksgiving Day Game.’ The requirements were you need to be at least 13, make a purchase 500$, get his parents signature and the kids own. Addy practically made him sign the contract.
Mike Lupica made this into a long story bye having every detail, stretched out sentences, and doesn’t have anything about the throw until a few chapters into the book.
When the throw is happening is 3 chapters until the book is over. I would rate this book 6 out of 5 stars (yes, 6).
Mike Lupica has lots of suspense in his books and I highly recommend him to sports fans because he does overall excellent writing and has many books about many sports.
would you suggest this to me , Wyatt?
Yes
Wyatt,
This is a good review. Your enthusiasm is fun to read!
Two suggestions though –
1. Feel free to break longer paragraphs into two shorter ones to make your review easier to read.
2. You have to reread your post before posting. There are a lot of missing capital letters, sentences that aren’t clear, and odd spacings. They would be easy to fix if you just took a few moments to edit your work!
Freddie,
Do you like sports books? It sounds like you would like this book if you do! Right, Wyatt?
This is the only author that has good sports books to me. Thanks!
I read a book called the million dollar shot and it’s basically the same thing but with basketball not football.
Whats your point???!??!!!!!!!?!
my point is the million dollar shot came out first.
This sounds like a really good book. Your enthusiasm makes me want to read it!
you basically copied what dan wrote.
Is there sports language in this book?
Not really, it is mostly made up football plays.
This reminds me of another book called The Million Dollar Shot because of the extremely simular plot and title.
Did you know that there are a bunch more than that. Like the million dollar shot.
They are by a different author.
cool,
sounds like a book that you would read, especially because it is about sports.
