Short description

Follow the thrilling adventures of Jaspa the Giraffeses, a distant relative of the giraffe only three inches tall. He and his equally-diminutive Ses friends must take on the Journey – a perilous, 500-mile ordeal across Africa’s Serengeti Plain in the company of the immense herds of the Great Migration.

Extended description

Follow the thrilling adventures of Jaspa as he joins the epic exodus of the Great Migration on Africa’s Serengeti Plain. Every year over two million animals are forced to embark on this desperate, real-life, danger-fraught, 500 mile struggle for survival. This year Jaspa must join them in order to fulfil a rite-of-passage known as the Journey, a task made doubly daunting by the fact that Jaspa is a Giraffeses, a distant relative of the giraffe, who could comfortably sit in the palm of your hand. Jaspa’s Journey: The Great Migration is a story of adventure and danger, friendship and secrets, excitement and emotion, humour and, above all, discovery.

I have enjoyed Jaspa's Journey:The Great Migration very much. It is entertaining and at the same time educational. I have purchased additional copies for children in my family. Their parents and friends also loved the book. I look forward to following Jaspa as he continues to have adventures. And I can`t wait to share the next journey with the kids.

I was requested to review this book, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to, because I really enjoyed reading it. Jaspa’s Journey: The Great Migration by Rich Meyrick, is about a small version of a giraffe named Jaspa, who travels over 500 miles across Africa’s Sergenti plains. While making his journey across the plains he comes across many adventures; once of them with a boy name Ben who is on vacation there with his family. This book is filled with laughter, adventure, twists and turns. It is great read for late elementary readers and middle school readers who are looking for a book filled with adventure. The book is also very teaching in a way, because it discusses so much facts and knowledge about Africa and the Sergenti plains. The Author, Rich Meyrick, writes in a way that is very educational, but is something that’s fun at the same time; so it’s appealing to readers. Although this book is more of a chapter book and not so much of a picture book like I usually review, it is still one great read. It would be a great book to read to a child because they would be able to picture everything right in their head because of the great descriptions.

A fantastic read for kids and adults alike. I bought it for my nephews, but once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. I was captivated from page one. The characters are well-developed and easy to get attached to. They are swept along from one adventure to the next and it's impossible not to get swept along as well. And when it's all over, you just can't wait for more!
