Based on a true story, THE EELS OF ANZAC BRIDGE tells two tales entwined in one: the incredible life cycle of the long-finned eel, and a young man’s journey across the world to the Great War. The writer gently explains the cycles of life and death, while giving the young reader hope that life will continue. (From the author’s website).

The real ANZAC Memorial Bridge is near Eketahuna, and was unveiled in 1923.
