“Every young person who reads Off the Itinerary will come away with key knowledge of search and rescue, and a great set of role models to look up to. M. Liz Boyle has done a fantastic job of weaving storylines that captivate readers, while adding those hidden treasures of education that could save a life. This is YA fiction you will want your kids to read! The short story format is perfect for readers who might not have the confidence to tackle an entire novel: these stories will give them a new sense of accomplishment while keeping them turning the pages.”
–C.R. Fulton, author of The Campground Kids
“This was exactly where we needed to be. It might not have been on my trip itinerary, but we were here and we could help. God’s itinerary was always better than mine anyway.”
Marlee and Marshall are now students at the Professional Outdoor Guides School where Sawyer just graduated. Meanwhile, Lydie is busy training a search-and-rescue dog. In this special edition with seven search-and-rescue stories, the Off the Itinerary characters face new adventures (and misadventures). Adrenaline is high as Marlee faces her fears in a cave rescue, a helicopter evacuation, a swift water rescue, and more! Will Marlee trust that her misadventures are part of a greater plan? If you loved Avalanche, Chased, and Ablaze, you won’t want to miss this collection of short stories.
“Don’t miss your chance to catch up with Marlee and Marshall as they are now enrolled at POGS, for rescue/guide training. This short story collection features different survival situations and techniques from the quick thinking teens and their families. And you’ll absolutely love the addition of Bonnet the rescue dog! While it was fun to reunite with these fictional friends, the various survival stories – water rescue, sick campers, avalanche danger, lost hikers (and more!) were fascinating and had me turning the pages. But my favorite part is the faith aspects that turns these realistic tales into inspiring fiction. M. Liz Boyle has truly perfected this unique combination of faith, relationships, and outdoor adventures. The Search and Rescue Files is a fabulous addition to the Off The Itinerary series. -Leslea Wahl, author of The Perfect Blindside

“I really liked that this one was a series of short stories, each with elements that can help teens (and adults) as they face fears and have adventures wherever God leads them.” -Cynthia, founder of forchristianhomes.com
“Liz Boyle does it again—immersive action and adventure, strong characters, and faith woven seamlessly together in a collection of stories that each stand on their own while also telling an ever-deepening story of the main characters and their relationships. Every chapter is an exciting read with a beginning, middle, and satisfying end, easy to digest quickly, while the arc of the whole collection keeps you coming back for more. You’ll love watching Marlee, Marshall, and their family and friends grow stronger in their guide skills, their relationships, and their faith.” –Jill Penrod, author of St. Ninian’s Sanctuary series
