The White Giraffe, by Lauren St. JohnJuvenile, 2006
Martine ust travel to South Africa to live with her grandmother on a game reserve after her parents die in a fire in their home in England. There she is enthralled by the animals but still fails to be able to fit in just as she had in England. There are many mysteries that surround her, there is the rumor of a white giraffe living on the reserve and there is the mystery of why her grandmother is so distant, and the mysterious circumstances of her grandfather's death at the hands of poachers.
Trackgeek: A nice short concise story. The mysticism of the book is a little odd, but still, a quick read that allows for Martine to develop and find things out about herself and move past the grief of her parents deaths. Graded a B-.
