About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Exciting reading despite being more about the hurricane force Tidal Storm than about the beloved new little foal.The opening drawing and map enhance the entire story,where Chincoteague means "land across water" and Assateague means "outrider."Pony Penning, though justified so ponies do not overcome the island, still need to be set up so that no pony is EVER AGAIN IN DANGER of drowning.Both STORMY and MISTY are so well written that it is nearly impossible for kids not to believe they are real.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The author has a great way of making the story come alive.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I think the kids enjoyed this book a bit more than I did, but I enjoyed it well enough. Just like it's predecessor Misty, I'm not the sure the title reflects the actual contents of the book very well; but it was decently written and an enjoyable read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A childhood favorite re-visited.Is the story as good as I remember? – YesWhat ages would I recommend it too? – All ages. Children will enjoy the single storyline; while adults enjoy an easy afternoon read (especially while waiting on a bus, show, doctor, or other appointments).Length? – Reasonable for an afternoon.Characters? – Memorable, several characters, though a bit confusing in the beginning.Setting? – Real world, Recent times (1940′s or 1950′s).Written approximately? – 1963.Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Yes! In this book – Stormy is portrayed as Misty’s first baby, yet she was really her third.Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? No.
