The first book in the heart-warming White Giraffe series by Lauren St John, featuring the African adventures of Martine and her magical white giraffe.
When tragedy strikes on a winter's night in England, Martine is sent to live with her grandmother on a game reserve in South Africa.
Her wild, beautiful new home is riddled with secrets, but lonely Martine finds comfort in the legend of a white giraffe and in mysterious Grace, who believes Martine has a powerful gift.
Defying her grandmother by entering the reserve alone, Martine is plunged into a world of danger, mystery and adventure. Who can she trust? And how far will she go to save the only friend she has ever known?

It all makes for a genuinely gripping tale that will warm even the coldest of hearts.' Joe Melia, Waterstone's Bristol Galleries WATERSTONE'S BOOKS QUARTERLY
