This is a sports history and biography, but its scope reaches beyond football: it examines the Carlisle school’s treatment of Native American students and racism in sport and wider society.
Samantha Gordon
A real-life sports memoir about football skill, recognition and the changing circumstances that followed public attention. Its distinctive angle is a girl succeeding in a boys’ league while navigating visibility beyond the field.
George Sullivan
This offers a structured starting point for learning American football: basic rules and positions are placed alongside history, player profiles, terminology and NFL records.

A warm introduction to football as something people can enjoy together, whether playing in a major stadium or an informal outdoor space. It foregrounds shared participation and belonging rather than competition, expertise or football celebrity.
Illugi Jökulsson
A fact-led introduction to Manchester United, combining club history with profiles of players and coaches, records, statistics and interactive end matter. It suits a reader who enjoys football information more than sustained narrative.
