• Three-in-one Pinto Talent 29 July, 2004
This charming story takes place long after Misty's death, but the spirit of this famous Chincoteague pony lives on-inspiring another generation of horse-loving children and adults. Down in Florida on Stolen Hours Farm Dr. Sandy cherishes a dream: to travel to the coast of Virginia to purchase
some Chincoteage ponies of her own. Captivated by the MISTY book and nationally-beloved story about the little filly of Pony Ranch, she drags her unenthusiastic kids along--returning home with four ponies in her trailer. But she pins great hopes on Sunshine, a direct descendant of Misty. Working with a wise and generous horse breeder she envisions a special blend of Chincoteague and Thoroughbred. The result is a pinto spitfire filly whom she names Twilight. But which course will be best for
Misty's lively great-granddaughter? Should Sandy train her to be a Cutting horse--facing cows and bulls-or to be a Jumper in the show ring, or to learn the noble art of Dressage? This spunky blend of both equestrian worlds is eager and willing to try all three paths to fame. But many years later Sandy realizes that Twilight has an even greater challenge; to help people realize the value of preserving a place for the wild things. This talented pinto will serve as a "symbol of what Nature has to offer us." A pleasant read for horse-lovers of all ages, this book reminds us of what we stand to lose if we fail to honor the Misty's legacy.

• Incomplete Story 23 February, 2005
I had never known that Misty's Twilight had originally been a cutting horse with a rodeo bronc attitude problem. Marguerite Henry certainly created a historical story about this horse! Overall a neat history of one of the most unusual recent dressage horses in US history but one that also seemed to be incomplete. I would have liked to read more about Misty's Twilight's dressage career but very little was mentioned in the story about it.

• Well, I On The Other Hand Thought It Was Good 05 December, 2005
Even though some of you thought this book was a disapointment, I just wanted to let all who are thinking of reading it, it is wonderful! I personally thought it was better than Misty, Stormy, and Sea Star's books, even though I love them dearly. I have re-read it at least twice. I also thought that they should tell more about Twilight's dressage career, and they should've given Twilight a while to actually develop into a jumper. Also, I thought that Sandy should do something that her kids wanted to do for their birthdays. Anyway, despite those flaws, I loved the book, and it gets five stars.
