I read the book million dollar throw by Mike lupica. I have read a lot of Mike’s books and I have to say this one is the best. This book explains a lot about life and what a kid might have to go through so he can become big and famous. There are two main characters in this story there names are Nate and Abby. Nate has a nick name; they call him Brady because he has a phenomenal arm in football also because he is a huge fan of pro football player Tom Brady.

Both of these kids are 13 years old and they love 2 play football together. Nate and Abby have been friends sense 2nd grade, but sense then Abby has been loosing here I sight she has a hard time seeing 3 feet in front of here now. Abby does not like to admit it she still tries’ to do every thing she use to do. There is one thing that Abby will have with her no matter if she is blind or not she will be able to draw really amazing pictures.
