White Giraffe Series: The Elephant's Tale
The fourth book in the heart-warming White Giraffe series by Lauren St John, featuring the African adventures of Martine and her magical white giraffe.
When a sinister stranger calls at Sawubona, Martine is in for a shock. He claims he's the rightful owner of the reserve and every animal in it, including the white giraffe.
With just thirteen days to save her home, Martine and Ben stowaway on a plane to Namibia, where the key to the mystery lies.
But trouble follows them to the desert dunes. There, they uncover a plot to destroy a herd of rare elephants. And to rescue them, they need the help of the elephants themselves.
Lauren St John grew up surrounded by horses, cats, dogs and a pet giraffe on a farm and game reserve in Zimbabwe, the inspiration for her bestselling White Giraffe and One Dollar Horse series, as well as her YA horse novel, The Glory. Dead Man's Cove, the first in her Laura Marlin Mystery series, won the Blue Peter Book of the Year Award. Before becoming a children's author, she worked as a journalist for The Sunday Times, writing about sports, music and spies. Along with her veterinary nursing training, it served as perfect research for her Kat Wolfe mystery series and The Snow Angel, a standalone MG novel.
A passionate conservationist, Lauren is an Ambassador for the Born Free Foundation, a patron for horse sanctuary, Mane Chance, and the founder of Authors4Oceans. When not rescuing leopards and dolphins, she is a full-time valet to her rescued, and not in the least demanding, Bengal cat, Max.
