This second edition of Storm on the Island is a revised and edited version of a classic story about a family living through a hurricane on the Carolina coast. It was pitch black outside.  A storm was roaring over the little sea island where Rose Ann and her family lived.  The house shook in the wind but it was still standing when at last the storm was over.  Fields were flooded and the crops ruined by salt water  Worst of all, the causeway to the mainland had been washed away and they were cut off from supplies.  Rose Ann minded the baby, Paul caught fish to eat, and they all managed to help another family marooned by high water.  But when it was all over, and Paul and Rose Ann realized that they had lived through a hurricane, things seemed different and they somehow felt more grown up.  Eleanor Frances Lattimore's delightful drawings illustrate the story.  (Text taken from the front flap of the dust jacket on the first edition of this book. )
