Product Description:
Whisper Nelson’s mental videotape remembers everything—including scoring a point for the opposing team in her last soccer match four years ago (yikes!). So when she wins a chance to kick a goal past a professional soccer goalie for a million dollars, she’s torn. Should she risk further embarrassment in front of all of Oklahoma City—and worse, in front of her middle school? Win or lose, taking the million dollar kick might be just what Whisper needs to make her dreams come true.

I liked this book because soccer is my favorite sport after basketball. Also the character in this story is Whisper and theres a girl in my grade with that name. Whisper plays socbowl in the story. I think thats a funny name. This was a very good book!

Wandering through the library, searching to find an interesting book, one caught my eye. It was the, The Million Dollar Kick. The book starts out in Oklahoma City. Whisper is an ordinary kid who is haunted by a mental picture of a soccer game. One afternoon Whisper took her little sister, who is an athlete, to the mall. Where her sister enters her in a contest. Where if you win you get the chance to win a million dollars by kicking a soccer ball past a famous soccer goalie. She wins, but now she has to learn how to kick a soccer ball. She thought she was toast until Ellie decided to coach her. I thought it was a great book full of action, surprise, and pure interest.

Genre: Fiction
Three 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.
