Thirteen-year-old Nate Brodie, nicknamed "Brady," faces the ultimate challenge: a million-dollar pass at a Patriots game. With his family on the brink of losing their home, the pressure mounts. Can Nate overcome his struggles on the field and make the throw that could change everything? As the stakes rise, so do the doubts. Will he rise to the occasion or crumble under the weight of expectation? The clock is ticking, and one perfect pass could mean the difference between hope and despair.

From the publisher

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of HEAT and TRAVEL TEAM. Everyone calls Nate Brodie “Brady” because he’s a New England quarterback, just like his idol, Tom Brady. And now he’s got a chance to win a million dollars by throwing one pass through a target at halftime in the Patriots; Thanksgiving night 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 13-year-old can bear, and it’s affecting his playing 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?
