This summer the Stanley sisters and the Miles boys are excited to hike together again, and now they have the unique opportunity to help two of their ranger friends with an outdoor program in the beautiful Montana mountains.

Marlee has always considered herself a willing follower. Give her a direction and she’s happy to help. Her older sister Ellie is a natural leader, and Marlee is content in her role as assistant.

Marlee and her sisters have been assigned to help with Ranger Rose’s team, and they are savoring the adventure.

In this enthralling finale to the Off the Itinerary series, Marlee must face her fears with courage that only God can provide.

My Thoughts on Ablaze

I loved this book!  It is book three in a series called Off the Itinerary geared towards young adults and teens.  You definitely have to read this series in order to get the most from it because they do reference events that have happened in the first two.  And of course, because you will miss out on a lot of the story before the story that you desperately need!

When I read that this is the finale for the series it left me very sad.  It’s a great series that my kids and I are loving.  I’m sure you’ll love the characters as well. 

In this last installment, you get to see Marlee and her sisters as well as the Miles brothers again.  Ellen is off on her own with school but back with the family for this excursion.  They’ve been asked to help out with a camping hike by the Rangers.  They have the knowledge to share and everyone says Marlee is a great leader.  Everyone that is except her best friend and this one girl in her hiking group. 

But things go from bad to worse with Marlee not knowing about the life-threatening peanut allergy of another hiker and then a forest fire starting.  Can Marlee live up to the leadership potential so many others see in her or will she just let everyone down?  And what about the relationship between Ellen and Sawyer?  But even more than that what about Marlee and Marshall?

I guess you’ll just have to read the series to find out because I’m surreely not going to tell you!  They’re wonderful books!

About the Author of Ablaze

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).

More from Liz

After sending my five teenage characters through an avalanche and subjecting them to a lunatic with handcuffs (during a flash flood), I decided that a wildfire was the next disaster they should endure. From a plot perspective, a wildfire allows for much excitement; but I especially love the character refinement that takes place as my cast faces this natural disaster in the finale to my Off the Itinerary series. I hope your family will find encouraging entertainment in Ablaze.
