Packed with danger, emotion, and urgent conservation themes, OPERATION RHINO is the gripping fifth instalment in the much-loved White Giraffe series - and one of Martine’s most challenging adventures yet.
When Martine’s pop-star hero arrives at Sawubona for a safari, it feels like an unforgettable moment. But the excitement turns to horror when poachers strike, leaving behind a helpless, orphaned rhino calf.
Martine and her best friend Ben are entrusted with a dangerous mission: to transport the baby rhino across wild terrain to a remote sanctuary, where it might have a chance to survive. But Martine is hiding a painful secret - one that has stolen her healing gift and left her doubting herself when she needs it most. Alone in the wilderness, with poachers closing in and danger at every turn, Martine and Ben must rely on their courage, instincts, and survival skills to protect one of the most endangered animals on Earth.
Blending heart-pounding adventure with a powerful message about wildlife protection, Operation Rhino shines a light on the realities of poaching while celebrating bravery, friendship, and standing up for what is right - even when hope feels fragile.
Perfect for readers who love animal adventures with real-world relevance, this compelling story will resonate with fans of conservation fiction, strong friendships, and stories that truly matter.
