'You'll never catch the Phantom,' says Grandpa. 'That horse is fast as the wind. She's escaped from every roundup on the island!' But Paul and Maureen wanted the beautiful wild mare for their very own, and decided they would catch her for themselves. When they finally do overtake the Phantom, a surprising discovery is made: running at her side is a brand-new, silvery-gray colt!
Newbery Medal nominee Misty of Chincoteague is Marguerite Henry’s classic and beloved story about a wild horse’s gentle colt, which continues to captivate entire generations of children.
