I read this the first time when I was in Elementary School (3rd or 4th grade). I loved it then, and even now, years later, I still re-read it. The book has a quality that makes it worthwhile to read- over and over and over!! I recommend it for readers of all ages. Children will love it, especially horse crazy girls! Well worth the price- it's a children's classic that should last for many, many, many years too come.

It was also made into a movie (titled "Misty" in 1961, hard to find), and has at least two books that come after it. (Stormy, Misty's Foal, Misty's Twilight, and a related but not sequel book: Sea Star: Orphan of Chincoteauge).

I would say that it was absoloutly wonderful,i just couldn't pry my eyes off of this collecion of awsome books!!And even though i'm 13,i still couldn't stop reading it.I would highly recomend this book to any of my friends.And what i like so much about this book is that you actually feel like you are there.The way she(Marguerite Henry) writes is just.....well..... beautiful.

Misty is a timeless classic and a must read for all, young and old. Read all of Marguerite's books about the ponies...I now live on Chincoteague Island and love to see the ponies and read the book every year during the Pony Swim to my young children. It is very exciting to really see the ponies swim. Thank you Marguerite for bringing this wonderful story to all of us.

These were some of my favorite books when I was a child, but these glossy new covers just take me out of the moment! Bring back the beautiful watercolor covers by Wesley Dennis! No Marguerite Henry fan should settle for less.

THIS GREAT SET INCLUDES 3 BOOKS. THEY ARE ALL ON CERTAIN CHINCOTEAGUE PONIES. MISTY, THE 1ST BOOK IS MY FAVORITE. I'D GIVE IT 5 STARS!! SEA STAR, THE 2ND BOOK WOULD GET 4 AND 1_2 STARS BUT STORMY IS WHERE I HAVE PROBLEMS. WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN SEA STAR AND NOW? HOW DID MISTY GET BACK? THIS WOULD GET 3 STARS.

the best books I have ever read. I am a 9 year old at Tallassee elementary school, Tallassee, Alabama. It is on our current grade level reading choices list. a must-read for all kids my age.

I read most of Margerite Henry's books as a child and loved them very much! I remember the amazement at realizing that Chincoteague and Assateague were real places! I have yet to get to Chincoteague for the pony roundup but I have visited many times over the years. I am buying these for the family library and hope my son grows to love them as I have. He is a little young now at age 3 but I plan to start reading them to him as he gets a little older!

Hi, I would like to tell you about a book called Misty of Chincoteage. The aurther of this book is Marguertie Henrey. This
book has 173 pages. The book is illustrated by Wesley Dennis. The genre of this book is fiction because it's made-up.
The setting is Chincoteague island. THe time is through out the 1900's. Misty of Chincoteague is a wounderful book.It's about a boy and a girl named Paul and Mareen Beebe. There's a horse that they want so badley. The horses name is Phantom. Phantom has a baby named Misty. I don't want to give away the ending.
The three reasons why I liked it are the book had wonderful illustrations, good use of words,and it's appropriate for school. I would recomend this book to fourth grades through out adults. The reason is because it's easy to comprehand.
If you really like horses you should read Misty of Chincoteague. Bye!!

I am 45 years old and still have fond and vivid memories from when I read this book as a young girl. I read it over and over again and eventually collected the series. My dearest wish back then was to have a horse and I recall babysitting and finally saving enough money to buy a pony when I was 13.

This is the best set of books ever!I horseback ride and LOVE horses! I never new there was books on horses that were stories not imformational (about the breeds ect.) I got all 3 books in this serious and are reading other books by her too! If these are the only books you get about horses they are worth it! There fantastic and a real page turner! There deffinetly worth buying!
