Out of Bounds

Out of Bounds is a narrative about two snowboarding brothers who decide to climb high in search of fresh powder.  They fail to notice the Out of Bounds signs.  And they didn’t notice the avalanche warnings down below.  In the end, they are glad to be alive.  The story is told in dialogue and narrative.

The story has a problem solution structure.  The text is composed of a variety of sentence types.  Illustrations set against photographic backdrops support the text but not all events are shown.  Ellipses are used.  The book concludes with a two-page spread that tells how to write a narrative.

Some words may require clarification: dodge, powder snow, gradually, painstakingly, burning desire, partially.  Similes: shone like a jewel, shook like jelly, flew out like a wave behind his board.
