Night of the Howling Dogs is a wonderful read for boys grades 4th-7th. The story is about a group of boy scouts (read on, come on) that go on a hiking trip in Hawii. The group of boys are strong, capable and well mannered, all but one - Louie, the wayward boy. The main character, Dylan and the antagonist, Louie go way back and Louie seems to have a beef with Dylan. Catastrophe ensues when a great earthquake rocks the part of the island that the boy scouts are camping on. Dylan and Louie must work together to survive the after affects of the quake and to save their friends. Night of the Howling Dogs is an inspiring novel that boys can sink their teeth into. Stories are told about ancient Hawaiian folklore, but it is chalk full of bravery, courage and putting others before yourself. 4 stars
