Product Description

From Amazon.com

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 --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

From AudioFile

Get out your handkerchiefs. Narrator Daisy Egan takes us into the world of children's hopes and dreams with this fully voiced reading. Two children, Paul and Maureen, work together to bring the wild pony, Phantom, and her newborn foal, Misty, to Chincoteague Island. Daisy Egan, child star of Broadway's "The Secret Garden," reads the story with the simplicity of longing and the thrill of dreams realized. She nearly captures the soft rhythms of Grandpa Beebe's Chesapeake Bay accent; she's dead center for Paul and Maureen. The direct, emotional quality of her reading is very moving. The abridgment by Claire Keller is smooth and does not intrude upon the story. This production invites every child who has longed for a horse to read more of Marguerite Henry's wonderful stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horse Lover's Dream, Aug 13 2006

By	Laura Hesse "-Horse Lover Forever" (Vanoucouver Island, British Columbia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Misty of Chincoteague (Hardcover)

This is one of my favourite horse books of all time. It was because of this book and three others (Black Stallion, Black Beauty, and of course The King of the Wind) that I began to write my own horse stories. This isn't just a classic. It is writing at its best. Adventure. Ponies. Love. I still go back and read my dogeared copy of "Misty" regularly. I tried to capture "the feel" of this story in my first book, "One Frosty Christmas".

4.0 out of 5 stars Misty of Chincoteague, Feb 3 2004

By	Raven Autumn Black (Monroe, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Misty of Chincoteague (Paperback)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars This book is good and bad.
It is kind of hard to understand and not always interesting. It is about the Phantom and her kid Misty and it is mostly about the Phantom and then it becomes about her kid Misty.
