I finally picked up this book and finished it very quickly. My first thought was "Geeze, another orphan story!" Aren't there any books that have kids with living parents or must they die in order for the hero/heroine to come into his/her own? That said, the super natural story told in this novel was very engaging. What I liked best about it were the attention to details about South Africa. It was obvious the author had made visits because her descriptions really brought the setting to life in my mind as I read. As for the magic Martine (the orphaned child) seems to possess and the trial she overcomes, it was alluring and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has a passion for animals.-Mrs. M :)
