(1) YA Although Thorpe is Undefeated's star, other compelling narratives include those about the infamous Carlisle Indian Industrial School and coach Glenn "Pop" Warner. The book identifies discriminatory societal and political factors then dives deep into Carlisle's remarkable football history and the sport's evolution. Sheinkin's multi-layered approach connects various subplots, includes noteworthy cameos, and uses cliffhangers for a propulsive reading experience. Bib., ind.
