Misty of Chincoteague, a Book Review by Anya

I would recommend Misty of Chincoteague for horse-lovers because I am one, and I loved it. My favorite part was when the mustangs swam the channel on Pony Penning Day. On Pony Penning Day the horses are rounded up off an island, forced across the channel, and sold at an auction. In the book our main characters earned enough money to buy a pony of their choice. The day before the auction, the main characters, Paul and Maureen, find out that they have to earn twice as much money as they already had- in one day. Would they have enough money? And what did they need the extra money for? To find out what happens you'll have to read the exciting book, Misty of Chincoteague!
