Marguerite Henry's beloved story of a wild horse's gentle colt--winner
of a Newbery Honor!
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.
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...
