My nomination:

Title: The White Giraffe Author: Lauren St. John Genre: Fantasy Nominated By: Kate

Martine is a girl who’s parents died in a fire on her the night of her 11 birthday. She had to move in with her grandmother in an African wildlife reserve. Martine wants to go back home and live with her parents again and believe this never happened. But then she hears tale about a white giraffe a mystical animal, no one has seen it, but it leaves footprints behind. Then one night Martine looks out her bedroom window and sees a silvery animal. Could it be her imagination or is the white giraffe real? Martine also wants to meet the giraffe, but the giraffe lives in the reserve, and only comes out at night, but Martine isn’t allowed in the reserve at night because it is too dangerous and her grandmother won’t let her. So Martine sneaks in the reserve at night. Also, Martine discovers a new secret about herself and learns the truth about why she came there.

One of the reasons why I think you should nominate this book is because there are a lot of surprises in it, so it doesn’t leave you hanging. Like when a women knows all of her secrets and about the white giraffe. And when she has a dream and it comes true. Also when an animal gets hurt Martine saves it. Another reason why I think you should nominate this book is, because it was a fun read. It was I book I could just grab and read. I didn’t have to stop a lot to figure out a word, or need help understanding a sentence. It was a book that was exciting and just right. Those are some reasons why I think you should nominate The White Giraffe.
