GR 1–3—Adults who grew up reading Marguerite Henry's Chincoteague stories will be excited to share a taste of that world with young readers not quite ready for Misty of Chincoteague and its sequels. This new chapter book series introduces Willa Dunlap, who has just moved to the famed island with her parents and younger brother. Though she's read all of the "Misty" books and loves animals, she longs for her friends back in Chicago. Short chapters and gentle pacing make this ideal for equestrians, animal lovers, and readers who enjoy realistic, family- and friendship-centered stories.
Kristin Earhart
