Just as Martine is settling into life on the wildlife game reserve, she is whisked away on a school trip. She must leave her white giraffe, Jemmy, for two weeks! Her class is going on an ocean voyage to witness the Sardine Run, a spectacular natural phenomenon, off the coast of South Africa. What begins as an exciting adventure quickly turns perilous when a storm blows up and Martine and her classmates are thrown overboard into shark-infested waters. They are saved by a pod of dolphins, only to end up marooned on a deserted island. The castaways, at odds with one another, must figure out not only how to survive, but how to help the dolphins when a terrible danger threatens them.  
In a gripping tale of courage, friend­ship, and survival, Martine must use her healing gift and her wilderness training to save both humans and animals alike.

      Narrator Adjoa Andoh brings the rhythm and speech patterns of South Africa to this story of six children marooned off the coast of Mozambique. Her undulating voice speeds and slows with the rhythm of St. John's story. Andoh brings intensity to her portrayals of Martine and her schoolmates as they struggle for survival and hope for rescue when a school trip goes dreadfully amiss. Listeners can hear the character of Martine gain confidence as she metamorphoses from reluctant student to quick-thinking life saver. The story weaves down-to-earth messages on environmental concern and self-awareness with a fantastical world in which a white giraffe and dolphins have remarkable abilities. A.R.
