The Million Dollar Kick

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.

Million Dollar Kick

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.

The Million Dollar Kick

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 it's 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.
