Wolf Storm

Stefan is a budding actor starring in his first movie. The movie crew and cast are on location in Slovakia, Eastern Europe in an old ski resort in the Carpathian Mountains.  The resort had been closed for years.  It was located on a flat plateau halfway up a rugged mountain and accessible by a narrow switchback road cut through a cliff with the surrounding mountains making access difficult at best.  It is snowing, as the filming begins with Stefan coming down the space ship ramp holding the collar of a black trained wolf.  He sees a wild wolf by the snack truck. The trained wolf Boris growls, crouching as if he
plans to run after it. The snow turns into a blizzard.  The cast and crew take a break with many going into town for the evening.  Left with just a few comrads, Stefan and the trained wolves begin to explore the main building.  An avalanch causes havoc, covering some of the movie trailers, trucks and part of the resort.
Meanwhile the wild wolves are hungry.  They are coming.  The roads and phone lines are down. What are Stefan and his friends going to do to survive?  This is a survival story of friendship, wits and a good read for middle school.
