Our rating:

Misty, the well-known and beloved horse of Chincoteague, is expecting to foal any day now, but a raging storm starts flooding the island and destroying the herds of wild ponies. Paul and Maureen Bebee grow more and more worried for Misty every day as the evacuation process begins and the anguish of separation draws near.

This is a special story of how the islands were destroyed, and how love and hope helped to rebuild courage. The key downside with this book is that a large portion of the plot is in deciding what to name Misty’s foal. Well, judging from the title, that’s decidedly non-suspenseful.
