His arm is golden when he’s on the football field but he can’t concentrate because his best friend, Abby, is going blind. What would you do with a million dollars? What should Nate do? Will Nate even make the throw????

One reason I picked this book to nominate is because you can’t put it down. When I was reading it, my mom would have to call me a few times before I finally came, because I really wanted to find out what would happen. My second reason that I picked this book to nominate is because it has lots of juicy details. I like really descriptive books because they paint better pictures in my mind. These are the two reasons I chose to nominate this book.**
