Night of the Howling Dogs by Graham Salisbury

In Night of the Howling Dogs by Graham Salisbury, weird things keep happening to Dylan when his scout troop goes camping on an ancient lava flow.  First, he sees Pele, a ghost dog who comes to warn of danger.  Then he encounters Fred, the friendly shark with a hole in his fin.  Finally, the danger arrives.  One night Dylan is shaken awake by a terrible earthquake, and he must track down the other members of his scout group.  Will they all survive? 

This book is a page turner.  It is loosely based on an incident that happened to the author’s cousin.  There’s even a picture of the cousin with his scout troop on the volcano. Imagine living through an earthquake! What an adventure!!
