Great book for pony lovers!
This is one of our daughter's favorite pony books and a classic story. As a publisher of another children's pony book, "Mint's Christmas Message" we think "
Misty
" is the standard against which other children's pony books should be measured.
ANIMAL lovers this is the book
Misty
of the
Chincoteague
is about the Phantom, a horse that is wild and free. Little does the Phantom know that there is a dream of a little girl and boy? The boy's name is Paul and the girl's name is Maureen they are brother and sister that have the same dream to buy the Phantom. Their grandpa owns a horse farm where a whole bunch of people go out and capture horses to sell them. So Paul and Maureen start working because they want that horse so bad. They're going to do anything to get the Phantom. Does Paul and Maureen's dream come true?
Misty was one of the best stories I have ever read! If you are a horse lover then this book is for you! This is all thumbs up. An animal lover out there if you are looking for a magnificent irresistible wonderful book to read this book is for you!

For all children who love adventure
Published in 1947,
Misty
of
Chincoteague
is another classic horse novel from the pen of Marguerite Henry. If you enjoyed her other novels such as Gone with the Wind, you will enjoy this book. You don't need to be a lover of horses to enjoy the story. It is classic children's literature at its best.
The story revolves around two siblings, Paul and Maureen, who live on Chincoteague island off the Atlantic coast of the US. The nearby island of Assateague has long been the haunt of wild horses which are rounded up every July and sold in support of the local volunteer fire department. The two children are captured by the wild vitality of the horses and desire to catch the wildest of them all, Phantom, and make her their own. Her colt, Misty, is also rounded up and the remainder of the story tells of the bonds that are formed between the four creatures.
If you liked this book you will also want to read Sea Star and Misty's Twilight which are sequels.

Misty
of
Chincoteague
is a wonderful book for all ages. The Phantom is the wildest horse on the Island of Assateague. The "map" of the United States on her whithers and the fact that she ran like the wind made the lead mare of the Pied Piper's herd the most desirable horse on the entire island. Paul and Maureen Beebe want the Phantom, and work hard to earn the hundred dollars to buy her if she is caught. But no one can catch the Phantom, right?
Surprises are in store for the young reader, and old friends will enjoy coming back time and time again to this book for all, Misty of Chincoteague.

In the book
Misty
of
Chincoteague
, the hearts of one little boy (Paul), and his little sister are captured when they find out that they have the chance to catch the pony of their dreams on pony penning day. Marguerite Henry, the author, really grabs the hearts of the people who love horses everywhere with the interesting surprises of this book.
On pony penning day Paul and his sister find out that you should always expect the unexpected because it is always libel to happen. When Paul takes his turn to go catch the pony he wants someone or something makes all of his dreams fall apart. When he finds that it is hard to catch a pony when you can?t find it, his heart is shattered.
I would recommend this book to people who love horses very much because if you know about horses then you will be more interested in this. I liked this book because I am one of those people who love horses very much. And any book that has to do with horses then I will at least read about it than if I like it I will read it. And if I don?t like it then I won?t read it. Recommending is not the easiest job but when it comes to this then it is very easy to do.
So to wrap it all up there has been many surprising twists to this book. And the best part is there is more than one so I am not really saying goodbye.
