Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team by Steve Sheinkin

---

I taught this book virtually with 7th and 8th graders. I deeply enjoyed reading and teaching this book -- there is an access point for every kid, whether it is sports or history or social justice. Sometimes the football scenes were hard to visualize, but the author always summarizes the main point of the scene or game. This text also contextualizes how Native Americans were treated in the early 21st century in a very impactful way.
