Eddie's community continues to support him even after the excitement dies down from "summary" of Million Dollar Shot, The (new cover) by Dan Gutman
Eddie Ball is a twelve-year-old boy who lives in a small town called Stoneybrook. One day, he enters a contest and wins a chance to shoot a half-court shot during a halftime show at an NBA game. The prize? One million dollars. The town is buzzing with excitement, and everyone rallies behind Eddie, cheering him on as he prepares for the big moment. When the day of the game finally arrives, Eddie steps onto the court in front of thousands of spectators. As he lines up his shot, the crowd falls silent, holding their breath in anticipation. And then, with a flick of his wrist, the ball sails through the air and swishes through the net. Eddie has done it. He has won a million dollars. The town erupts in cheers and applause, celebrating Eddie's incredible achievement. But as the days pass and the initial excitement fades, Eddie starts to worry. Will his community still support him now that the thrill of his victory has worn off? Will they still be there for him, cheering him on in his future endeavors? To his relief, Eddie soon discovers that the people of Stoneybrook are not fair-weather fans. They continue to support him, attending his basketball games, cheering him on from the sidelines, and encouraging him to pursue his dreams. They show up for him not just when he's in the spotlight, but also in the quiet moments, offering a helping hand or a word of encouragement when he needs it most. Eddie learns that true community support is not just about being there for the big moments—it's about standing by someone through thick and thin, cheering them on even when the excitement dies down. And in Stoneybrook, Eddie knows he has a community that will always have his back, no matter what challenges or triumphs lie ahead.
