Misty's Twilight | Marguerite Henry
Mehso-so

This is a higher so-so. I own the book but out of all of Marguerite Henry's books I've read I've only read it twice (compared to several for the others I own). I guess I just felt a little jilted after reading Misty of Chincoteague, Stormy, Misty's Foal, and others.

Pickpick

As part of a series, this book focuses on Twilight , a direct descendant of the most famous pony ever, Misty of Chincoteague. Twilight has greatness in her blood and now it's her turn to shine.

Day 23 of a book from my shelves with random thoughts - This is towards the bottom of Henry's books for me. Published much later in her career (and after the death of Wesley Dennis, hence the different illustrator), this book lacks a cohesive plot. Theoretically about a descendant of the famous Misty, it's really more about Twilight's owner, and since Twilight's owner isn't the one traveling about with Twilight, the whole book feels weirdly ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) distant. I think this may have been an attempt to introduce a new generation of readers to the Misty books (the original three stories, Misty of Chincoteague; Sea Star; & Stormy, Misty's Foal are all excellent), but it falls rather flat. While I highly recommend the original Misty trilogy, this one lacks that magic. 5y
crazyspine I live in Chincoteague. These books are the best! 5y
TheAromaofBooks @crazyspine - we went there once when I was a kid and I have always wanted to go back!! I will say that was the other weird thing about this particular book - it didn't really take place in Chincoteague, other than the character purchasing her pony. It's not a terrible story, but I really love the original three stories and this one just isn't up to that level. 5y
