The Shark Callers

After a volcano erupts two very different young men find themselves struggling for life in shark-infested waters and one must be sacrificed to the swarming blood lust of the sharks if the other is to survive. ?The author?s exceptional depiction of a volcanic eruption and its consequences adds curricular value to the book particularly as the town of Rabaul has been destroyed by two volcanoes that began erupting in September 1994.?--Booklist
