Amazon.com Review
On an island 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.

Marguerite Henry's Newbery Honor Book has captivated generations of boys and girls both with its thrilling descriptions of true incidents from the tiny island of Chincoteague, and its realistic yet wonderfully magical atmosphere. This story of an animal brought into captivity poignantly reveals the powerful opposing forces of humans and nature. Wesley Dennis's pen-and-ink ponies are masterfully depicted with rippling muscles, shaggy coats, and free spirits. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

Product Description
Nobody could capture the Phantom. She was the wildest mare on Assateague Island. They said she was like the wind, that the white "map" on her shoulders was her mark of freedom.

Paul and Maureen Beebe had their hearts set on owning her. They were itching to buy and tame her, and worked hard to earn the money that she would cost. But the roundup men had tried to capture her and for two years she had escaped them....

Pony Penning Day holds a surprise for everyone, for Paul not only brings in the Phantom, but her newborn colt as well. Can Paul and Maureen possibly earn enough to buy them both?

5 out of 5 stars Misty of Chincoteague   September 1, 2010
Shannon Chandler (Flint, TX USA)
Very interesting and a great historical background. Even though the book was written YEARS ago, the pony swim still goes on to this day, so it is still a current book. Enjoyable read. Geared to those at a junior high reading level, but enjoyed by adults, too.

Husband witnessed this many years ago and we bought the books to share with grandchildren. Very simple but well written story

I loved this book! It is one of my favorites, and I like everything about it - except what the fire chief saiad about the colts, but that's way minor. The characters are nice, the horses are pretty, and Pony Penning seems so much different then than now! I like all of the Misty books except for the last one.

The Cat's Meow (Upstate NY)
In 1947, Marguerite Henry's Misty of Chincoteague helped put a quintessentially American event on the map--the annual pony swim from one Virginia barrier island, Assateague, to neighboring Chincoteague. Based on a true story, her children's classic has a pair of pony-mad siblings and their twinkly grandfather as its human heroes, but the magnetic Phantom and her foal, Misty--who in real life lived on until 1972--steal the show.

My sister and I read this book as young girls. I bought this for her recent birthday just before we went away for a girls' weekend to Virginia and actually visited Chincoteague Island to see the ponies. It was great to relive the story!
