Snowboarding

This title is written for readers aged roughly 10 to 14 who do not usually enjoy reading, and it is pitched at a reading level of about ages 7 to 8. It traces where the sport came from and shows the tricks and stunts riders perform on the slopes.

The book also looks at the protective clothing and specialist equipment that snowboarders need if they want to compete at a professional level. It introduces well-known riders who have pushed the limits of the sport and broken records along the way.

Photographs play a large role throughout, and the text is plain and easy to follow, so the book suits young readers who are wary of longer works.
