Martine and her grandmother discover that they might lose Sawubona, their African game reserve, to the sinister Reuben James. But a prophecy from Grace rouses Martine and her best friend, Ben, into action. To find the truth and save the reserve, Martine and Ben must stow away in an airplane, which strands them in the desert, thwart Mr. James's creepy henchman, and rescue a herd of very special elephants from the dangerous Moon Valley.
The adventure also leads the kids to answers about Martine's destiny. Jemmy, the white giraffe, and Khan, the last leopard, are alongside Martine and Ben as the Secret Valley reveals its mysteries in this satisfying conclusion to the series that began with the #1 Children's BookSense Pick, The White Giraffe.

The Elephant's Tale is the fourth book in a compelling series by Lauren St John. Set on a game reserve in South Africa it contains everything to make children sit up and listen to their bedtime story: the orphaned heroine with a gift for healing sick animals had my boys begging for just one more chapter. (Daisy Bridgewater TELEGRAPH MAGAZINE)
...there is a warmth and love for animals that raises this above the herd. It is an enjoyable, action-packed tale. (TELEGRAPH)
The interesting characters and compelling plot make this book an exciting read. There is a wealth of information contained within the story making the book feel like a learning experience as well as a piece of pleasurable literature. In the closing chapters of the book Martine uncovers some information about her future written on a cave wall. Are these `spoilers¿ left there by Lauren St John? I guess we will have to wait for the next book to find out. (Sam North HACKWRITERS.COM)
The fourth instalment in Lauren St John's heartwarming White Giraffe series, in which Martine must travel to Namibia to save an elephant and the home she has come to love.
