Misty of Chincoteague

Set on Virginia's coastal islands, the story follows siblings Paul and Maureen Beebe as they work diligently to earn enough money to buy a wild Assateague pony during the annual Pony Penning roundup. Their dream comes true when they capture the elusive mare Phantom and her newborn foal, Misty, learning profound lessons about love, stewardship, and knowing when to let something go. Through their bond with the horses and their close-knit family, the children model responsibility, kindness, and unselfish affection.
