Well: he knows something very special about Martine, starting with her magical healing powers…

  • I’ve read the whole White Giraffe series and they are really thrilling. I think my favorite one was …... hmmmm …....I liked all of them but…......... I think Dolphin’s song…...no, no …... The last leopard…...actually…..no, no….. You know what I can’t choose! They’re all amazing! Perfect for animal lovers whatever age you are. I would read them again but i got the books from my local and school libary. :( Oh well! :>
