I thought this book was inspiring of what we should do in real life. This book was about Martine going to another country to help her grandmother's friend with a broken leg. When she finally gets there she learns all the secrets of the area like this one about a leopard that Is one of the last of it's kind. She wants To do something about it so she goes to find it with Ben, her friend, and an instructor there. The two men go into the leopard's cage and Martine is left alone. At last she saw the

The third book in the Legend of the Animal Healer series. Martine, her grandmother, and Ben travel to Zimbabwe to help her grandmother's friend save her hotel and the last leopard. They must defeat hunters and treasure seekers in order to save Khan. This series gets more exciting with each new installment. Boys and girls will find this series enjoyable.

This was my least favorite book in The White Giraffe series thus far. The actual climax of the book was filled with adventure, but the first half of the book failed to captivate me. The new characters in this book are not particularly interesting, and Martine has fewer interactions with animals than in the previous two books. The last installment in this series comes out in June.

I enjoyed this 3rd book in the series but not as much as I thought I would. I think that's because the storyline was slightly predicable based on the other two. However, it still made for a good read. The author's note at the end helped to better understand some things in the book related to African culture and traditions.

I thought this book was interesting, and even though it is not the type of books I'm into, I enjoyed it! It does have an ending that all could predict, but nevertheless it was enjoyable. Not so enjoyable that I became obsessed with it, but enough that I would rate it 3 stars. :D

Good easy read. Goes with the White Giraffe and Dolphin song. Apparently there is an elephant one too. Need to read. These are great books for kids who can't handle length but still want a fine story.

This is the 3rd book in a series about a girl in England whose parents die and she goes to live with her grandmother who owns a wildlife preserve in South Africa. It is a well-written children's book.

Book 3 in Lauren St. John's series about a young girl growing up in South Africa on her grandmother's wildlife reserve. This one took us to Zimbabwe, a country where animal protection is practically nonexistant during their difficult political upheaval. Some disturbing but eye opening references to "canned hunting", where a foreigner can pay big bucks to shoot an animal in an inclosure and prove what a big man he is. I love all the characters in these books, very believable, but the ma

Very interesting book! I think it would've been better if there was less of a gap between reading the book before this, Dolphin Song.
