Summary Of Million Dollar Throw By Mike Lupica

This is the title that I would have given this book. The book Million Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica is an adventure/suspense book. This book is set in modern time in a town called Valley, Massachusetts. It is around the time of summer. The main character in this book is Nate Brodie. Nate is a football fanatic. He is the star quarterback of his team, the Valley Patriots. Nates favorite team are the New England Patriots, particularly his favorite player is Tom Brady. Tom Brady is the starting quarterback of the Patriots. He is Nates role model. The book starts off in the small town of Valley Massachusetts when Nate and his friends are playing football. The team is winning by a considerable amount. But the Valley Patriots wanted one more touchdown

If he got this, it would mean the world to him. This was the famous “Brady Ball”. This was a ball in a glass case with Nates favorite players signature written on it, it was Tom Brady’s signature. Getting this was something Nate had to do, there was only one obstacle standing in the way, the price tag. This autographed ball had a whopping price tag of 500 dollars. For the past 3 years, Nate had been saving up for this one ball. Once he finally got all the money, his parents took him to the nearby mall. He made his way to the sporting goods store. Nate walked up to the counter and said “I’d like to buy that Brady ball”. This quote changed his life forever. While paying for the ball the clerk mentioned that if you made a purchase of 500 dollars or more, which Nate had, that whoever that person is can sign up for the million dollar throw. The million dollar throw was a pass from 30 yards away and the ball had to make it through a one foot wide hole in a wall. The contest would be held in Gillette Stadium in Foxbourogh, Massachusetts at halftime of thanksgiving night game. This was the stadium of the New England Patriots, it would be amazing just for Nate to be in that stadium, let alone making a million dollar
