## Description

Marguerite Henry’s beloved story of a wild horse’s gentle colt—winner of a Newbery Honor! On the island of Chincoteague, off the coasts of Virginia and Maryland, lives a centuries-old band of wild ponies. Among them is the most mysterious of all, Phantom, a rarely-seen mare that eludes all efforts to capture her—that is, until a young boy and girl lay eyes on her and determine that they can’t live without her. The frenzied roundup that follows on the next Pony Penning Day does indeed bring Phantom into their lives, in a way they never would have suspected. Phantom would forever be a creature of the wild. But her gentle, loyal colt Misty is another story altogether...

Review: One of the all-time classics - How many of us horse-crazy people grew up with Marguerite Henry's stories? I think Misty is the best of them all, especially because of its message to let the wild stay wild. The only criticism I have is of the often condescending treatment of Maureen, which I find annoying. Even the illustrations show her as second-class citizen.
Review: Great Quality Keepsake Book - Got this book for my granddaughter as it was a favorite of mine! The illustrations and story are beautiful. Well made, hard cover book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why did I wait so long to read this book?
*by S***4 on August 29, 2025*

I can't believe I put off reading this book for 27 years. Early in my teaching career, I had a student who told me I should read this book. Here we are, and as of today I have finally done it. What a touching story about hard-working children who do not have the typical home life (quite rare for 1947), yet beat the odds to achieve the goals they set out to achieve. A sweet story I would recommend to anyone who is or is not a horse lover, especially since you can go there today and see these things for yourself. I will make it to Chincoteague Island one day.
