This is a very famous book, and one of the great horse book classics!

On an island 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.

Many girls (and boys) have learned to love horses and ponies by reading this captivating story. If you haven't read it yet, you'll want to put it at the top of your list!

I haven't read this book but I've read Stormy, Misty's foal. It's a good book but also really sad.

The book was pretty good, maybe boring in some places but mostly interesting. In some parts it seems to drag on, but in other parts it is action-packed. I think it's perfect for younger readers who love horses.

It's a nice book. The storyline is very nice and I like the wild horses. However, there are some thing's I don't like. Pony Penning Day isn't good for the horses. When they cross the water, they get sick and are scared of crocodiles. Also, this book is very anti-women. The sequel Stormy, Misty's foal, is even more anti-women. As a girl, I find that very offensive.

My mom showed me a copy of this book when I was 7, I think. I'm going on thirteen now and I've read it, maybe a hundred times! I love it! I've also read both sequels, Sea Star of Chincoteague and Stormy, Misty's Foal. I just can't get enough!

This book is pretty good, i wouldn't say the best. I wish it was in more modern times and that they actually rode the horses and jumped and stuff. Overall it was a great book!

by: Abby

This is my favorite book ever! It is about a girl and a boy who have their hearts set on owning a wild pony, named Phantom. When it is too late too buy them, a kind boy ends up giving them to Paul and Maureen. What will happen after that? You have to read the book to find out!
