I bought this book some time ago for my non-reading son, and now that we are changing continents again it was time to donate it. I was not aware that this book formed a part of a series, but it was a good read, although it tries to cram so many things into one story.
The story is sadly dated because the white rhino is now officially extinct. I wish it was otherwise and one could imagine that the efforts of the conservationists have born fruit.

[This is a review I wrote in 2008]

**Heartwarming - Magical - A lovely story.**

What a wonderful story. For ages approx. 8+ but I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult too!

This is the story of Martine. She's 11 years old when her parents are killed and she's sent to live in Africa with her only living relative, her grandmother. Her grandmother doesn't seem to be all that pleased to see her, but Martine soon finds the delights of living at Sawubona, a game reserve, compensate for her grandmother's strangeness. All the same, Martine wonders what makes her grandmother act so strangely... what is she hiding from Martine? Martine not only has the difficulty of being without her parents in a foreign country, but the challenge of starting at a new school too. Can she befriend the quiet boy, Ben, who sits all alone at break time and doesn't ever speak? Back in the wilderness, is there such a creature as the 'white giraffe' or is it just a mythical African story?

This is a lovely, magical story, full of the warmth, mysticism and ruggedness of rural Africa. Really well-written, and with simple yet effective black and white illustrations to help bring the pages alive. I can highly recommend it.
