The White Giraffe, by Lauren St. John
After losing her parents in a terrible fire, eleven-year-old Martine leaves England to live with a grandmother she doesn't know on a wildlife game reserve in South Africa. There is belief among the locals that a mythical white giraffe lives on the sanctuary. As Martine explores the African world, myths become reality and she discovers her courage and her healing powers that may save her one true friend.
