YOUNGER FICTION
Earhart, Kristin

Welcome Home!

(4) 1-3 Marguerite Henry's Misty Inn series. Illustrated by Serena Geddes. When Willa and her family move to Chincoteague Island, Willa wonders if she'll make friends or get a pet, and whether she'll see a real Chincoteague pony. A neighboring girl at first seems standoffish but then makes an overture of friendship. Although the mild plot feels scattershot, the animal-, food-, and nature-loving narrative is very appealing, as are the sketchy line-drawn illustrations.
