Product Description
Blind golfing, anyone?
Edward Bogard - Bogie for short - may be blind, but he can learn just about anything he sets his mind to: riding a bike, parasailing, playing guitar. Even though many things come easily to him, he stunned when he hits at a driving range and finds he has the swing of a pro. But blind golfing is a team sport, and Bogie needs a coach.
Enter Birdie, the kooky and mysterious girl next door. A bit of a loner, Birdie creates elaborate worlds in miniature in her basement, and has managed to make it to age twelve without learning to ride a bike.
Then someone anonymously enters Bogie in a golf tournament-with a million dollar prize. If he can team up with Birdie to conquer the greens of Hawai'i, could she be the unlikely key to victory? "Gutman has another winner here...younger YAs and reluctant readers will enjoy this suspenseful and often funny tale."--KLIATT
"[A]n excellent picture of a loving father-son relationship. Highly recommended.--Children's Literature

The Million Dollar Putt February 22, 2008
Bogie was able to do many things even though he is blind. This made me wounder if i could do all the things i do if i was blind or not. He was able to tech himself to play the guitar and even learned how to golf. being blind did not stop him from competing. I wounder if bogie was more determined because he si blind and felt that he had to prove he could do what other kids could do. I rated this book 4 stars because it left you wanting to know more about Bogie and what he would accomplish with the rest of his life. I think anyboby that has dreams would enjoy this book. It makes you feel like you can do anytyhing if you set your mind to it. I can tell you if Bogie won the golf tournament you will have to read the book your self to find that out. Which I recomened you do. The Million Dollar Putt by Dan Gutman is a fantastic book for all ages of kids. THis book is a sports-fiction so if you like sports books go and get this book at your local book store today.

The best book I've read this year was The Million Dollar Putt by: Dan Gutman
The two main characters in the book were Bogey and Birdie. Bogey was a twelve year old boy who liked to play guitar and golf. His best friends name was Birdie, she was the one who taught him how to play golf. Birdie was a twelve year old girl who didn't have many hobbies. Bogey taught her how to play the guitar. They learned how to play golf together and eventually Birdie became Bogeys coach.
The plot of the story is when Bogey finds his mom's old golf clubs in their basement and decides he wants to learn how to play golf. Golf is not easy for a blind person to learn but Bogey seemed to be a natural! The first time Bogey ever played he hit a hole in one and that made him determined to learn the game of golf. One day Birdie read a book called Golf for Morons and this changed everything! After Birdie read the book Birdie and Bogey decided that Birdie would become Bogeys golf coach. With Birdie as his coach Bogey went on to play a lot of good golf.
The main setting in the book takes place on the golf course where Bogey learned to play golf.
The main theme of the book was friendship. Birdie and Bogey had an awesome friendship. They learned a lot of things together but most importantly Bogey learned how to play golf.
The Million Dollar Putt was one of best books I've ever read because the book was about golf and I love golf. It was also so exciting and had so many adventures. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody!
