Book Talk: The White Giraffe
-By Lauren St. John
Short Description: When Martine goes to live with her grandma Gwen Thomas on a game reserve outside of Cape Town South Africa she has no idea what to expect.
Martine’s parents died in a fire on her birthday. When Martine gets to Cape Town, Tendai her grandma’s helper, takes her to Grace’s house. There she learns about the prophecy. The prophecy says that the forefathers have predicted that she has the power to save the white giraffe; all the hunters in Cape Town only dream of catching. One lonely night Martine sees a young giraffe, silver tinged with cinnamon in the moonlight. Only when hunters start hunting and Alex the mysterious game keeper starts acting odd, she knows that she has to save Jemmy. Her skills, wit, and bravery are put to the test when something happens to Jemmy.
