SRP 2013 REVIEW: I thought it was an interesting take on African culture. The story itself was compelling although I found it geographically incorrect. Most people told me that this book was dry but i personally liked it

SRP 2010 REVIEWS (2): #1) I liked this book a lot. This is an exciting book and Martine knows that many people have looked for the White Giraffe but never found it. The night she comes to Africa she sees the giraffe. Now she knows that a person is after it to possibly kill it, so can she saves the White Giraffe before it's to late? Read the book to find out. #2) This book is about a girl who lives in Africa on a game reserve. She is told that she has a special gift, and she finds that her gift is being able to ride the white giraffe. I love this book.
