A terrible storm is brewing, and the tide is rising quickly. Meanwhile, Misty-the famous mare of Chincoteague-is about to give birth! Will Misty and her baby survive? This is the thrilling story of how a hurricane destroyed the wild herds of Assateague, and how strength and love helped rebuild them. Misty of Chincoteague has been delighting millions since its publication in 1947. Like the favorite classic, this sequel features siblings Paul and Maureen Beebe's special relationship with their ponies, and is filled with fascinating horse lore and amusing regional color. Both books are richly narrated by John McDonough, whose talent for conveying genuine emotion greatly enhances their drama. Marguerite Henry is the Newbery Medal-winning author of many beloved horse stories, including King of the Wind, and Justin Morgan Had a Horse.

"Stormy, Misty's Foal is a fallow up to Misty of Chincoteague. This book tells about a foal being born during a terrible storm. I haven't gotten to far into the book, but so far the book is very exciting.If you decide to read this book I hope you get just as much excitement out of the book as I do."

" not as good as misty, but still a favorite. "
— lola, 2/18/2014" Hard to rate this one - I remember reading it as a youngster, and presumably enjoying it. Re-reading it, I found it rather dated, a bit condescending and the characters' obsession with Misty a bit hard to understand. Interesting to read the (fictional) experience of a community affected by a major flood, particularly as it seems little has changed. "
— Lara, 2/10/2014" I loved this series when I was a little girl. I recently gifted a set to my niece (because she is a total horse nerd like I was). I totally read them again before I wrapped them and gave them to her! :P They were so much fun to read again...great for any horse lovers. "
— Emily, 2/9/2014" This book is spectaular, I had to write a report on it which was very fun. If you're a fan who likes horses and heartwarming stories this is a book for you. "
— Abby, 2/2/2014" I have no memory of reading this as a child, though I am sure I did. I am a little disappointed as so far this is very little about "horses" and more just about people. Also, frankly, the writing is just weaker. "
— Tara, 2/1/2014" As good as the story of her mother. Another great choice for any horse-mad pre-teen you know. "
— Michele, 1/28/2014" I loved the Misty of Chincoteague series. WONDERFUL reading for children! "
— Laurie, 1/26/2014" I remember loving this book as a young girl. I was especially intrigued with the name of the islands Chincoteague and Assateague, and spent a great deal of time looking them up in our Atlas (this was before the internets, remember). "
— Rebecca, 1/22/2014" Loved this book as a child! "
— Laurie, 1/22/2014" This is the book that started my reading adventures. My mother picked it up at a yard sale and it was the first book that made me realize that I could travel to a new place and time. I still have the book and will unlikely part from it. "
— Michelle, 1/19/2014" If a children's author wrote a beloved story about an adorable puppy who was born during the Katrina hurricane in New Orleans, it still wouldn't be as cute as Stormy. "
