I 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.

Exciting 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
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.
