Product description
For a split second their eyes locked, the small sad girl and the slender young giraffe, then the sky went dark.
Martine is eleven when she goes to live on a South African game reserve. It’s a place as cruel as it is beautiful. At first, Martine hates it. How can she be happy? She’s lonely and friendless: an orphan, stuck with a grumpy guardian miles from anywhere. But then Martine meets the white giraffe. One night he’s there, outside her window: silver in the moonlight, looking straight at her. What does he want? Well: he knows something special about Martine: something she doesn’t…

on 7 March 2012This is a sometimes hard to read book. The main character has seen a white giraffe but no-one seems to know anything about it until another family member tells her he knows she has seen it. It is hard because it is about hunting beautiful animals but it is a moving lovely story and it is really believable, especially the descriptions of the animals and land.

on 18 October 2011I loved The White Giraffe because it made me feel like I was there. It is a charming and heart warming read. I love the strong friendship that Martine and the White Giraffe have.
