Misty of Chincoteague
When I was 9, we ended up on the tiny island of Gambier in Canada for the summer. We were only supposed to be in Canada for 2 weeks and so I had only brought three books: Misty, Seastar, and Stormy, all horse books by Henry. There were really no other children on the island and we were staying in a place with no electricity or running water and no car. I must have read each of my books 5 or 6 times that summer. Misty was my favorite. Later, I read her other books, but these three have a special place in my heart.
