This is the hugely compelling story of a group of Native American teen girls who became an unbeatable basketball team in 1904. They beat everyone- other high school teams, men's college teams, everyone they ever played. I don't even like basketball and I couldn't put this book down. It is a fictionalized version, and some of the odd additions didn't make sense to me (Teddy Roosevelt playing a game with them? Wild Bill Hickok watching a game in disguise?) and seemed gratuitous at best. The editing was abysmal, and the writing merely adequate, not to mention sweetly sentimental. The characters were pretty idealized. But the sheer power of the story transcended all of these problems for me.I'd love to see a non-fiction version of the girls' story.
