Misty of Chincoteague By Marguerite Henry
One of the most beloved horse stories ever told — Misty of Chincoteague by Newbery Award–winning author Marguerite Henry is a timeless classic that has captured the hearts of young readers for generations.
Every year on the island of Chincoteague, wild ponies swim across the channel from Assateague Island in the famous Pony Penning roundup. When siblings Paul and Maureen dream of owning one of these magnificent ponies, they set their sights on the most elusive of all — the Phantom, a beautiful wild mare. But it’s the Phantom’s foal, a little pony named Misty, who steals their hearts and becomes a legend.
Illustrated by Wesley Dennis, this beautifully told story of wild ponies, determination, and the bond between a child and a horse is a must-have for every young equestrian’s bookshelf.
