Synopsis

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.

Wow... In many ways this one was more intense and uncertain than the first book in this series! I wasn't expecting such an exciting story or the majority of the tale to be about an awful storm. Lots of devastation in here (which is something you might want to be aware of - it's not exactly a happy,......more

Goodreads review by Jodi on August 19, 2010

We bought this book at the Beebe Ranch in Chincoteague Island when we were there back in July. The book is even signed by Billy King Beebe, who even though he is not named in the story because Marguerite Henry kept the names Paul and Maureen from her first book about the island, is the boy who these......more

I adored Misty of Chincoteague, but I just didn't like Story, Misty's Foal as much. It was okay, yes, but it wasn't amazing. I found it pretty sad and seemed to have no actual plot.......more
