About Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry

On Chincoteague, an island off the coasts of Virginia and Maryland, a centuries-old band of wild ponies lives beyond easy capture. Among them is Phantom, a mare who has long eluded efforts to catch her.

When a young boy and girl see Phantom, they hope to make her part of their lives. The roundup on Pony Penning Day brings an unexpected turn: Phantom remains wild, while her gentle, loyal colt, Misty, faces a different future. Marguerite Henry’s children’s story is recognized as a Newbery Honor book and will suit readers drawn to ponies, animal stories, and the island setting.
