Melissa in St Louis Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 My son recently read Misty of Chincoteague and LOVED it. I looked on Amazon, and there seem to be a bunch of other books like this by the same author... Is there a particular order they should be read? TIA!

My daughter read them and she said the order of the original three are: Misty of Chincoteague Stormy, Misty's Foal Sea Star The other book she thinks came after and center on Misty as well as other Chinocteague ponies. She didn't read those in any particular order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'm pretty sure the second one is Stormy, Misty's Foal, but I'm not sure after that. Maybe someone else can help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Piaaree Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 These books are wonderful - some of my personal favorites from childhood. They can be read in any order that suits your fancy. Enjoy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Stormy, Misty's Foal is the second one, as someone said. It takes place on the island and involves Misty giving birth during a hurricane. Sea Star doesn't have Misty in it--she's made a movie (or, starred in one! lol) and is out on the road. Sea Star is an orphan that the kids raise. Misty's Twilight is, obviously, when Misty is older. I loved these as a child! Always wanted to see the Misty movie, which they really did make!

Georgia On My Mind Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 No one has mentioned "King of the Wind". It is my personal favorite of her books. It is about the beginning of thoroughbred horse line and I believe is historically correct, as all her books are. It is a wonderful adventure story for boys or girls. I would read it at about 5th or 6th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabelneri Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 My favorite was Brighty of the Grand Canyon, but then, I lived in Colorado and Arizona at the time. But I loved Misty too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a note of caution - the Mustang: Spirit of the West book by the same author is kind of rough. Black Gold too, but not quite so much. Loved loved loved King of the Wind - so did my kids. If your ds enjoyed Misty so much, I'd also look at Thunderhead by Mary O'Hara (she also wrote My Friend Flicka, but Thunderhead is the more exciting book, IMO). HTH!
