In this sequel to Misty of Chincoteague, Paul and Maureen are faced with a hard decision. A movie company wants to buy Misty. Maureen and Paul finally decide to sell Misty, so city children can see a wild pony. Misty’s going leaves an empty gap in their lives, which is eased by the orphan colt Sea Star. When Sea Star won’t eat, they have to find a way to make a mare, who has lost its colt, adopt little Sea Star.
A very nice story. Although, I was surprised that Sea Star only has the last half of the book and a very short half at that. It was fun reading this book again. I hadn’t read it for quite a while and I had forgotten a lot. Sea Star is one of Marguerite Henry’s heartwarming stories.

In this true story, Annie Bronn, also known as “Wild Horse Annie,” feels she belongs with mustangs. She faces sickness and other problems but finally comes to a new ranch, where she grows up. After marrying, life is wonderful—until she is faced with a sight that will change her life forever. She risks her life again and again to save the mustangs that the cruel mustangers are heartlessly slaughtering. Her endeavor actually brings her to the White House, but will Annie be able to save the wild horses before they are destroyed forever?
I enjoyed reading this book! Mustangs… Adventures… Despairs… etc. Be careful, you might not want to put it down!

When Shasta, a slave in Calormen tries to escape to Narnia, he is shown the way by a Narnian horse, Breehy-Hinny-Brinny-Hoohy-Hah. Bree for short. Traveling with them are Aravis and her horse, Hwin. On their way, Shasta is mistaken for a runaway prince, and Aravis uncovers a plot against Narnia and its neighbor, Archenland. In the race to save Archenland, Shasta and Aravis must cross the desert and alert King Lune to the threat of invasion.
This is one of my favorite Narnia books. I like it a little better than The Lion, the Witch and Wardrobe, but not as well as The Magician’s Nephew and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Plenty of action, enough tense moments to allow you to enjoy it, (but not enough to scare you silly) and some great characters.
