More About This Book

Overview

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.

From the Hardcover edition.

Editorial Reviews

VOYA
Eighth grade Boy Scouts and best friends Dylan and Casey are excited about their weekend camping trip to Halape, a remote beach campground at the foot of the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. At first, their only concern is the inclusion of Louie Domingo, a tough kid from the wrong side of town brought along by the scoutmaster, Casey's father. But during the hot, rugged hike to the campsite and again each evening, the eerie howling of a pair of feral dogs, one white and one dark, unsettles the friends even more than Louie's hostile attitude. A Hawaiian ranch hand who visits the campsite tells the boys that the volcano goddess Pele often appears in the guise of a white dog as a warning before the next eruption of the active volcano Kilauea. The scouts are skeptical, but that night an offshore eruption triggers a tsunami that threatens their lives and forces Dylan to team up with Louie to try to rescue several of their scattered and injured companions. Based on an actual event experienced by the author's cousin in 1975 (as described in a lengthy author's note), this survival adventure is dynamically integrated into one of those beautiful but potentially deadly Hawaiian settings for which Salisbury's stories are renowned. The tsunami that roars over the campers dramatizes the power of natural forces to overwhelm mundane human concerns. Salisbury skillfully weaves together the elements of scouting, male bonding, outdoor adventure, and natural disaster in a spectacular setting.
Kirkus Reviews
When Dylan's Boy Scout troop-eight Scouts and two adult leaders-hikes on the Big Island of Hawaii, down into the beautiful land by the ancient lava flow and the ocean, they must face the grueling heat, wasps, roaches, sharks, wild dogs and rumors of ghosts. But when a catastrophic earthquake hits, followed by a wall of water churned up by a tsunami, mere survival becomes their only goal. This good, old-fashioned survival tale based on a true event of November 29, 1975, is leisurely paced for the first half of the novel. Characters and setting are expertly developed, as is the conflict between Dylan and Louie Domingo-two characters at odds who must work together during the crisis and appreciate each other's strengths. When the quake hits, the pace of the prose matches the action with short, verb-driven sentences, lively dialogue and prolific exclamation points. Given the ordeal, the tale ends satisfactorily, with Dylan and Louie's grudging acceptance of each other and Dylan's new-found relationship with his father. Like any good survival story, this will make readers ponder what they would do when survival is on the line. A sure-fire literary thriller. (author's note) (Fiction. 9-12)

    Our fifth grade class at Esprit thought this book had a slow beginning, but it gradually got more interesting as the book progressed. It's fun that there are lots of different characters and they all have different personalities. We are split about whether we recommend.

    Very good - filled with suspense!

    I read this book with my son, who enjoys adventure/action stories. It was filled with exciting, suspenseful moments, and carries a powerful message about loyalty and growing up. It would be appropriate for any young (11-13) year old.

    The Night of the Howling Dogs was awesome I couldn't tell what was going to happen next!!!

    Night of the Howling Dogs was a spectacular book. I loved the end you couldn't tell what was going to happen next. There was alot of tension I couldn't put the book down. Many people think that staying on a Hawanian island wouldn't be so hard but they were wrong. The book felt so real I felt I was in the book,and washed away.

    Not just for Boys!

    I have a reading group of ten little girls...half of them wanted to read this and the other half something else (because this was about Boy Scouts/or so they read on the inside flap). I read this book in a day, and was captivated by all the different things that happened! It was set in Hawaii and it had a "bad" boy, howling dogs that led to Hawaiian stories/myths and ghost stories, a friendly shark, the ocean, overbearing heat, volcanoes, camping and earthquakes! I couldn't put it down! I loved it and I think the girls will too!

    Reviewed by Dianna Geers for TeensReadToo.com

    Casey is the Senior Patrol leader of his Boy Scout troop, and they are about to hike and stay in a remote area in their native land of Hawaii. This place had been almost completely wiped out from a long-ago volcanic eruption, but there is a small oasis of quiet beauty in the area that remained. That's where the boys will be camping.

    Casey is not excited when a tough boy named Louie shows up. He's not a Scout, but his Scoutmaster invited him along to see if he would be interested in joining. He makes Casey uncomfortable, but there's nothing he can do about it. And Casey only thinks that having Louie on his case constantly is the biggest thing he has to worry about on that trip.

    Until it hits. "It" is an actual event that happened in this same area in 1975. An earthquake, which causes part of the land to collapse into the ocean, and that also causes a tsunami that covers the sunken land with water beyond belief. Palm trees, under which some of his troop had been sleeping, stand in the middle of the ocean. He doesn't know where anyone is, if they are okay, or if he will survive himself.

    Graham Salisbury's cousin was a Scout who happened to be on just such a trip with his troop when the historical tsunami hit. He took the author to the land many years later. The detailed descriptions of the events and setting could only be told by an excellent storyteller and someone who truly experienced this unbelievable event. This is a great adventure of survival and a coming-of-age story.
