Every year, on Chincoteauge Island, an island on the Virginia coast, men come to the neighboring Assateaugue to round up the wild ponies. Paul and Maureen have always wanted to own Phantom, a wild mare, ever since they laid eyes on her. Paul is certain they will have a chance to buy her, since this year he will be alound to attend the round up. When Paul actually does manage to catch her, they discover that she has a colt! Will they have enough money to buy her, or will someone else be able to first? I think this book message is that you can never lock up a wild animal for long. I liked this book because Assateauge and Chincoteauge Island are real places. Horse lovers will love this book.
