The Million Dollar Putt

Edward Bogard - Bogie for short - may be blind, but he can learn just about anything he sets his mind to - riding a bike, parasailing, or playing guitar. His dad encourages all of his interests, except one: golf. So when a few of Bogie's classmates invite him to a driving range, no one is more surprised than Bogie when he turns out to have the swing of a natural player. But blind golfing is a team sport. Now what he needs is a coach. Enter Birdie, the kooky girl next door. Birdie seems to have no friends, creates elaborate worlds in miniature in her basement, and has managed to make it to age twelve without ever riding a bike. As these neighbors team up to conquer the greens of Hawaii, they learn about more than just golf. Then someone mysteriously enters Bogie in a golfing tournament - with a million dollar prize. Could Birdie be the unlikely key to Bogie's million-dollar win?
