When a group of boys and their adult leaders set out to camp in Hawaii, little do they realize the danger that lies ahead in their journey. Surviving the elements of heat, little water, and bugs are expected parts of their adventure. However, the campers have no idea that an unexpected earthquake and tsunami will threaten not only their camping experience but their life as well. Conflicts also arise between the campers, who are boys of various ages, throughout the story. This page turning adventure is sure to draw the reader into the plot and struggle for survival as will the unexpected howling dogs that mysteriously appear. This North Carolina Children’s Book Award Nominee is a must read for the avid camper.
