"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
