javalibrarian 's review for:

Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry
4.5
adventurous emotional funny lighthearted sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

This 1948 Newbery Honor Winner describes a world of childhood on Chincoteague, the natural world, and a love of horses.  Humor. drama, and tension are sprinkled throughout as you get to know Paul, Maureen, their grandparents & foal, Misty. Delightful - especially the audiobook version!
