Outward Bound
by Ian Trafford
Outward Bound is a lively, fast-paced text in which a teenage boy, Sam, recounts his experience attending an Outward Bound course in the Marlborough Sounds with his father. Reluctant at first, Sam finds himself kayaking down rapids, rock climbing, sailing, and camping. He surprises himself by overcoming – and enjoying – each challenge. The experience changes his relationship with his father and his attitude to his own abilities. By the end, Sam thinks, “I know a part of me will never be the same.”
