A lost pony is cause for a nighttime adventure on Chincoteague Island in this third book of a chapter book series inspired by Marguerite Henry's Misty of Chincoteague .

Full Moon Fancy, Fancy for short, is a pony with a knack for getting loose. First she just tramples a herb garden, then she knocks over a wall of a chicken coop, so the hens end up all over the yard and down on the beach. When she gets out one too many times, Willa and Ben are worried she's lost. They set out to track her down--in the moonlight! Will they find the runaway pony, or is Fancy lost for good?

Horn Book Review

While helping with their parents' new Chincoteague B&B, Willa and her brother Ben work with needy animals, particularly Starbuck, the buckskin pony they want to keep for their own. In Buttercup, they discover who's making a pony sick; in Runaway, an escaped pony puts Starbuck in danger. Gentle, age-appropriate plots and wish-fulfillment island details, along with delicate illustrations, give this horse-centric series appeal.

Excerpts

Runaway Pony Chapter 1 FULL MOON FANCY. THE NAME sounded magical. Willa let the words swirl in her head. She couldn't believe there was a new pony at Miller Farm. "Just Fancy for short," Grandma Edna insisted. "No need for long, frilly names around here." When Grandma said "here," she meant the animal rescue center she ran. It was home to goats, chickens, rabbits, and especially ponies--Chincoteague ponies. Ben and Willa hurried over to the small paddock to meet Fancy. "Where is she?" Ben wondered, glancing at his big sister. Willa searched the field. "The small pasture's empty, Grandma," Willa called across the yard. Grandma looked up. Her scowl pushed her eyebrows low. She stood up from her rosebushes. "Now don't tell me," she murmured. Grandma made her way over to where Willa and Ben stood. "Sure enough," she announced, examining the area. "We've got a pony to find. You two look on the other side of the house. I'll check behind the barn."
