Night of the Howling Dogs by Graham Salisbury


Once I started reading this book, I found it hard to put it down. It is based on a true story about a group of Boy Scouts who go camping and hiking in a remote area of Hawaii. While they are camping, an earthquake strikes ... and the quickly followed by a tsunami. The books follows the boys and their leaders as they attempt to survive after the natural disasters.

From Barnes and Noble:
Dylan's Scout troop goes camping in Halape, a remote spot below the volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. The only thing wrong with the weekend on a beautiful, peaceful beach is Louie, a tough older boy. Louie and Dylan just can't get along.
That night an earthquake rocks the camp, and then a wave rushes in, sweeping everyone and everything before it. Dylan and Louie must team up on a dangerous rescue mission. The next hours are an amazing story of survival and the true meaning of leadership.


Happy reading! If you read Night of the Howling Dogs, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)
