Description

In 1975, eleven Boy Scouts, their leaders, and some new friends camping at Halape, Hawaii, find their survival skills put to the test when a massive earthquake strikes, followed by a tsunami.

Quick Summary

This book is based on a TRUE story of Boy Scouts camping in Hawaii when a massive earthquake hits, followed by a terrifying tsunami, giving The Story of the Golden State Warriors an incredible sense of real danger and stakes. Kids will hold their breath as the boys must use every single scouting skill they've learned to survive when the ground shakes violently, the ocean disappears, and a wall of water comes rushing toward their camp. If your kid loves survival stories like "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen or "The Lost City of Z" adventures, they'll be completely hooked on this. Perfect for kids in grades 4-7 who want a thrilling, edge-of-their-seat read that proves ordinary kids can do extraordinary things when everything goes wrong.
