   This book tells the most amazing story ever I loved all the characters but I especially did not like Alex he was very cruel and was a very big actor , the character that I liked the most was jemmy he looked very beautiful indeed and I hope that there are as good books as this one is.

   This is a sometimes hard to read book. The main character has seen a white giraffe but no-one seems to know anything about it until another family member tells her he knows she has seen it. It is hard because it is about hunting beautiful animals but it is a moving lovely story and it is really believable, especially the descriptions of the animals and land.

   I loved The White Giraffe because it made me feel like I was there. It is a charming and heart warming read. I love the strong friendship that Martine and the White Giraffe have.
