Runaway Pony

(3) 1-3 Marguerite Henry's Misty Inn series. Illustrated by Serena Geddes. While helping with their parents' new Chincoteague B&B, Willa and her brother Ben work with needy animals, particularly Starbuck, the buckskin pony they want to keep for their own. In Buttercup, they discover who's making a pony sick; in Runaway, an escaped pony puts Starbuck in danger. Gentle, age-appropriate plots and wish-fulfillment island details, along with delicate illustrations, give this horse-centric series appeal. Review covers these Marguerite Henry's Misty Inn titles: Buttercup Mystery and Runaway Pony.
