Six months after the action of last year's The White Giraffe,
Martine has pretty much settled in with her grandmother at her
South Africa game reserve. But events soon conspire to unseat her
newfound ease: A multi-day school cruise will both take her away
from Jemmy, her giraffe friend, and force her to swim, something
she's deathly afraid of. Moreover, the cave paintings that eerily
foretold her previous adventures now depict a lone swimmer
surrounded by dolphins - and sharks. In short order, Martine, her
friend Ben and some of her most poisonous antagonists from school
find themselves marooned on a deserted island, cast overboard
during a storm and miraculously rescued by dolphins. How will they
survive? Why do the dolphins suddenly beach themselves? And who are
the shady men whose boat prowls the offshore waters? As in the
earlier book, the quick pace, the dynamics among the kids and the
undeniable appeal of Martine's mystical attachment to animals keep
the pages turning, regardless of plot contrivances. Animal-loving
readers will enjoy this mild middle-grade thriller. (Fiction. 8-12)
(Kirkus Reviews)
The second book in the heart-warming White Giraffe series by Lauren
St John, featuring the African adventures of Martine and her
magical white giraffe. A school trip to see dolphins is a dream
come true for best friends Martine and Ben - until a storm strikes
their cruise ship in the treacherous seas of Mozambique. Rescued by
dolphins, they find themselves in an island paradise, but one
surrounded by sharks and packed with peril. The idyllic turquoise
waters hide a secret that threatens both the children and the
dolphins. Martine's special gift might help, but she can't do it
alone. When she needs a true friend, who will be there?
