Misty of Chincoteague -- Marguerite Henry

<b>Marguerite Henry's beloved story of a wild horse's gentle colt--winner of a Newbery Honor </b> <p/>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. <p/>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...<br><br><b>Author:</b> Marguerite Henry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Aladdin Paperbacks<br><b>Published:</b> 07/07/2015<br><b>Pages:</b> 176<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.20lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.50h x 7.30w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781481435284<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.3<br><b>Point Value:</b> 4<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>60 / Misty of Chincoteague<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Marguerite Henry was the beloved author of such classic horse stories as <i>King of the Wind</i>;<i> Misty of Chincoteague</i>; and <i>Stormy, Misty's Foal</i>, all of which are available in Aladdin paperback editions. <p/>Wesley Dennis was best known for his illustrations in collaboration with author
