The White Giraffe Series: The Last Leopard by Lauren St John

The third book in the heart-warming White Giraffe series by Lauren St John, featuring the African adventures of Martine and her magical white giraffe. After a terrifying incident nearly ends their African road trip, Martine and Ben are determined to put it behind them. But in Zimbabwe's Matobo Hills, a blackmail plot unleashes a chain of dangerous events. Why do all clues point to Khan, the world's rarest leopard? And what does a king's lost treasure have to do with it? As the line between myth and truth blurs, wildlife detectives Martine and Ben must race against time to save the leopard . . . and themselves.

this is a vivid adventure, mostly because St John, who grew up in Zimbabwe, has captured its blend of menace and allure * THE OBSERVER *
..spellbinding... another magical, compelling adventure * THE ROAR *

Lauren St John grew up surrounded by horses, cats, dogs and a pet giraffe on a farm and game reserve in Zimbabwe, the inspiration for her bestselling White Giraffe and One Dollar Horse series, as well as her YA horse novel, The Glory. Dead Man's Cove, the first in her Laura Marlin Mystery series, won the Blue Peter Book of the Year Award. Before becoming a children's author, she worked as a journalist for The Sunday Times, writing about sports, music and spies. Along with her veterinary nursing training, it served as perfect research for her Kat Wolfe mystery series and The Snow Angel, a standalone MG novel.

A passionate conservationist, Lauren is an Ambassador for the Born Free Foundation, a patron for horse sanctuary, Mane Chance, and the founder of Authors4Oceans. When not rescuing leopards and dolphins, she is a full-time valet to her rescued, and not in the least demanding, Bengal cat, Max.
