Reviews

"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
