Finding Luck

Marguerite Henry's Misty Inn #4

by Kristin Earhart, Serena Geddes (Illustrator)

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 😊.

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.
