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.

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. Theres 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 didnt 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 wasnt very athletic but she still tried. (why wouldnt 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. Its 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 its 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.

Thirteen- year- old Whisper, who hated sports, was confused when she found out she had a chance to win a million dollars by kicking a goal.
The thing I liked about this book is that she gets a chance to win a million dollars. The book was very interesting. It is interesting because its a lot about sports and I love sports. I think all kids would like this book. If I were to rate this book 1-5 I would give it a five.

Dan Gutman has done it again with "The Million Dollar Kick", a sequel to "The Million Dollar Shot".I know Dan Gutman through e-mails, I once met him at my school two years ago in Oklahoma City. The character in this book "Carmen Applegate" was the name of my librarian at my elementary school. Also, another small character "Dan Mills" is the librarian at my middle school. "Bobbie Frisk" is the name of a teacher in the same district, though I have to tell you I dont her. Please try to read all of Dan Gutmans books, they are very good, and I am sure you will enjoy them. And also go to [their website] and find out about Dans books, do some cool activities, read some of his rejection letters for "Honus & Me", and a lot more cool stuff!
