Description Conducive To Books The White Giraffe (Animal Healer #1)

When Martine’s home in England burns down, killing her parents, she must go to South Africa to live on a wildlife game preserve, called Sawubona, with the grandmother she didn’t know she had. Almost as soon as she arrives, Martine hears stories about a white giraffe living in the preserve. But her grandmother and others working at Sawubona insist that the giraffe is just a myth. Martine is not so sure, until one stormy night when she looks out her window and locks eyes with Jemmy, a young silvery-white giraffe. Why is everyone keeping Jemmy’s existence a secret? Does it have anything to do with the rash of poaching going on at Sawubona? Martine needs all of the courage and smarts she has, not to mention a little African magic, to find out. First-time children’s author Lauren St. John brings us deep into the African world, where myths become reality and a young girl with a healing gift has the power to save her home and her one true friend.

Evaluation About Books The White Giraffe (Animal Healer #1)

10/10/08Audiobook formatI have been listening to this book for about three days now. It is wonderful. Really great. One of the many wonderful things about it is the audiobook reader. This woman is nothing but incredible. I mean it! She is the best audiobook reader I have ever heard. OK. She ties with the reader of Shadow of the Wind. I'm going to be looking for more books narrated by her. I love having Sloane come to school with me. It is so wonderful to be in the car together. On the drives we

Garrett White p5-7The White Giraffe August 18, 2012By Lauren St.JohnFiction181 pagesThe White Giraffe is about a girl named Martine. She lives a happy life in England with her Mom and Dad.

If I had read this book first, I may not have read the 2nd. I doubt if I will read the other two books in the series.

If you don't like it, doesn't mean nobody else will. I think it is a really Wonderful book. Plus, If you think about people could ride Giraffes. And,

Ah. We all need a White Giraffe in our lives.

Well, actually, the place Jemmy (the White Giraffe) as well as where her grandmother and all that reside is a game reserve. Very different from a zoo.

An enchanting, emotional and endearing read. Patterns: Martine and Tendai being outsiders, orphans both having suffered a tornado us about f grief and suffering. Martine didn't fit in at school, Tendai was bullied for the colour of his skin. I felt Jemmy is included here too. Protected and secluded for the coulour of his skin. Secrecy and lies are apparent through the book, Gwyn Thomas not revealing Martine's past, Tendai hiding the truth, Alex lying about the poachers on the game reserve.
