A Newbery Honor Book
Rediscover award-winning author Marguerite Henry´s classic story about a wild horse´s gentle colt with this faux leather-bound anniversary edition.
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.
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.
