What is special in Million-Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica?

Nate Brodie is called “Brady” because he’s every bit a star like his idol Tom Brady. Because he’s the most talented player in the team, his team relies on him to win games. But the 13-year-old is grappling with more problems than other kids his age. With a moody, distant and inaccessible father and a mother working two jobs just to put food on the table and keep their house, Nate feels insecure and lonely. Adding to his misery, his best friend Abby is slowly losing her eyesight. The only bright spot is Nate’s chance to win a million dollars for throwing a football through a target at one of the games. Will Nate, crack under pressure and lose his touch or will he make the money his family desperately needs?
