Misty of Chincoteague

Author: Marguerite Henry

Marguerite Henry’s beloved classic “Misty of Chincoteague” whisks readers away to the windswept shores of Assateague Island. Through the eyes of two determined siblings, we witness the magic of wild ponies and the thrill of the annual roundup. Henry’s vivid prose brings to life the salty air, the thundering hooves, and the bond between humans and animals. As I read, I found myself longing for my own pony adventure, feeling the sand between my toes and the sea breeze in my hair.

All the little ponies of Assateague had roamed that island for centuries, but they had never been tamed by man.
