Book cover for Misty of Chincoteague

Written by Marguerite Henry
Illustrated by Wesley Dennis

On an island called Chincoteague off the coast of Virginia, two children try to tame a wild mare and her colt, Misty. But can a wild pony be tamed? This story won the Newbery Honor Award in 1948. Ask your mom or grandmother if they read it! Maybe you could read it with one of them.
