Finding Luck (4)

Marguerite Henry's Misty Inn #4

by Kristin Earhart, Serena Geddess (Illustrations)

The Dunlap’s bed and breakfast is finally ready for the grand opening—or is it?—in this fourth book of a chapter book series inspired by Marguerite Henry’s Misty of Chincoteague .

It’s time for the grand opening of Misty’s Inn and Willa and Ben have been on their best behavior helping their parents get everything in tip-top shape! But they’re tired of being up to their ears in lumpy mattresses and dust bunnies. Willa and Ben would much rather be helping their Grandma Edna reunite a foal with its missing mother. But as one disaster after another keeps happening at the Inn, the Dunlaps begin to worry that maybe running a bed and breakfast wasn’t such a great idea after all. Will the Dunlaps be able to get everything ready in time, or will their dreams of running a successful inn disappear like the horse they’re trying to save?

At first I thought I would not like it but I actually like it it is a good book 😊.

[Renata Shura · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are no docks on Assateague, I highly doubt you’d see any ponies from the top of the lighthouse and there is no Russo’s restaurant. Also getting close enough to put a halter on a wild pony is doubtful.

The story is cute, with a good message, but presenting Chincoteague Island the way she does, sets up a lot of kids for disappointment if they ever do go visit the island. They will never find the make believe place that the author had created. I think that should be stressed in every one of the books.

Fun little series to read with kids.

Misty Inn continues to be a very good little series to share with children. This gets 4 stars only bc it wasn't my favorite in the series so far plot wise. Highly recommend the series as a whole.
