(4) 4-6 Illustrated by David Dean. After her parents' deaths in a fire, Martine leaves England for her grandmother's South African game reserve, where she befriends a near-mythical white giraffe and discovers her own powers as a healer. Martine's courage is then tested when poachers capture the giraffe. Despite a naive and facile plot, the author's love of the African landscape comes through in glowing descriptions.
