Reviews

This title in the Graphic Biographies series is organized with short chapters and concludes with additional facts, bibliography, glossary, and an index. This fresh look at Thorpe, his struggles because of his Native American heritage, and his innate stubborness that helped him persevere should be of real interest to those who gravitate toward this format.-- "Book Links, New Spins on Old Heroes"
