My YA Review
Boyle, M. Liz. The Search and Rescue Files. 2025
Off the Itinerary
The Search and Rescue Files is another exciting adventure novel by Liz Boyle for teens. The narrator in this edition is Marlee, a high school graduate who is studying to be a professional outdoor guide.
The book consists of seven chapters, each a complete story of a wilderness rescue. Marlee and her boyfriend (and long time family friend) work together with their family members or classmates to rescue someone in each of the stories. As the book progresses, the two grow closer to each other as well as closer to the Lord. I love how their relationship with God permeates their decisions.
The characters in this series are so relatable. I hope that Boyle creates more books using these characters.
The Search and Rescue Files and all the other books in the Off the Itinerary series would make great additions to a K-12 Christian School library. They are appropriate for middle school and up.
