Christian Young Adult is an interesting genre and a much needed genre. Off the Itinerary: The Search and Rescue Files by M. Liz Boyle is the latest in this genre that I have read. It is a continuance of the Off the Itinerary series. 

I really was intrigued by this book from the first few pages. The main characters are Marlee and Marshall, from the previous books. Marlee and Marshall are now on to more adventures as part of a School for Professional Outdoor Guides. I really enjoyed that there are 7 small stories in this book, Each story was about different Search and Rescue events. The stories are ones that can be teaching to the Young Adult readers who read this book. Though the stories are Fictional, the Survival Tips and Techniques seem to be real life events and the YA could use them if needed. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who has interest in Survival Guides and tips! INTERESTING and GOOD BOOK!

 

Liz is the author of the Off the Itinerary series, the wife of a professional tree climber, and the homeschooling mom of three energetic and laundry-producing children. Liz once spent a summer in Colorado teaching rock climbing, which she believes was a fantastic way to make money and memories. She resides with her family in Wisconsin, where they enjoy hiking and rock climbing. Liz and her husband have also backpacked in Colorado and the Grand Canyon, which have provided inspiration for her writing. She makes adventurous stories to encourage others to find adventures and expand their comfort zones (though admittedly, she still needs lots of practice expanding her own comfort zone).

When I published my third book, Ablaze, I was confident that the Off the Itinerary series was complete. Marlee had a solid character arc, she’d endured three natural disasters, and I wanted to finish the series on a good note. A number of devoted readers reached out, asking if I would please write another. I was reluctant for a while, but eventually (thanks to the excitement of my readers), I began brainstorming this special edition. Rather than another full-length novel, I chose to compile seven short stories focusing on Marlee’s involvement with search and rescue missions. I’m eager for my readers to spend bonus time with the Stanley girls and Miles boys. Some things never change, like Marlee’s high odds of finding misadventure and her need to overcome fear with the support of God, her family, and friends. Other things have changed for the better, like Lydie introducing a dog to the adventures. One thing is certain: Marlee must learn that God’s itinerary is better than hers.
