Misty of Chincoteague: Special Edition -- Marguerite Henry

<b>A Newbery Honor Book</b> <p/><b>Rediscover award-winning author Marguerite Henry's classic story about a wild horse's gentle colt with this faux leather-bound anniversary edition.</b> <p/>On an 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--until a young boy and girl lay eyes on her and decide 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 will 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> 09/03/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 176<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Size:</b> 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.44d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781665955713<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 (1902-1997) 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>, and her work has won several Newbery Awards and Honors. <p/>Wesley Dennis was best kno
