Why did the giraffe let Martine pet him? And how can Martine see the future??


I think Martine got her power from her mom or dad or grandma. But I think it might just run in the family.And in the first chapter i don't think that her parents wanted her to have pet because her power could get stronger

Response to: Why do you think Ben pulled Martine over?
I think Ben knew what the Five Star Group was trying to do to her and was attempting to save her

Response to: How did Martine get her power?
I think Martine was born with the healing power but she didn't know about it because she never used it untill she heeled the goose.

Question: Why do you think Ben pulled Martine over behind the tree and wrapped his arms around her?

Another response to the note above mine.
I think she also has some sort of ability to foreshadow future events. I find it strange her dream happened in real life and I think its part of her power.

Question: What do you think caused the other children in the Five Star Group to want to possibly harm Martine for healing a bird?

I think Martine was born with the power as well. I agree there. But i also think its her love for animals that 'fed' the power. She stated that she had always wanted a pet or animal

Response to my Question: I'm sure that Martine will NOT catch Jemmy. Why? Earning his friendship is just one part, there is a lot more book, imagine she just captures Jemmy and the book just ends. That wont be a good book ending. Or, maybe if Jemmy gets captured, Martine will save him.

Question: Do you think Martine will catch the White Giraffe, Jeremiah, Jemmy for short, to give to her grandmother for love, even with just getting his friendship, and Why?

Question :How did she get her power? I'm assuming she was born with it. Martine claims she saw spirits when using her power. She also claimed the power had been there since the Earth's formation. But, spirits aren't real. I'm assuming spirits are real in this universe, and that's how Martine got her power. But, what do you think? How did Martine get her power?

Response :That man, the game warden. He wants to capture the White Giraffe. I think he could be a major antagonist. Sorry for the continued response, I had a lot to say.

Response :I don't have a signpost, but I do want to talk. I find it strange that what happened in her dream happened in the real world. I think part of Martine's power is the ability to see the future through dreams. I do think it's unfair the kids called Martine a witch.
