But the Million Dollar Kick might be Whisper's big chance not only to win a million dollars, but to regain confidence in herself.

Genre: FictionThree sentence summary: In this book Whisper Nelson is chosen to kick a ball past a professional soccer player and if she makes it, she is awarded $1,000,000. There's just a little problem: she is not athletic. She has not played a sport since she was eight.What I liked most about the book: The thing I like about this book is that Whisper has a chance to win $1,000,000.What I didn't like and why: The only thing that I didnt like about the book was that it was about soccer and I do not like soccer very much.My favorite character and why: Whisper Nelson because she wasn't very athletic but she still tried. (why wouldn't you if you made the goal you can win $1,000,000.)The scene, line, or passage that meant something to me and why (page#): Well it was probably when she was getting ready to kick the goal. It's exciting to kick a ball and if you score you win $1,000,000 dollars.What I would say about this book to someone else: That it's nice that the characters are realistic and the author Dan Gutman discribed the setting very well.One question i have after reading this book: I wonder if the soccer player became good friends with Whisper Nelson.My strongest reason for recommending this book: Well if you like sports you would be very interested.
The Million Dollar Kick is a great book. It is so suspenseful. You never know what she is going to do. The main character hates being the star but her sister loves it. My mom, my six year old sister and I all liked it. It is such a good book.
