This beautifully written nonfiction picture book follows the amazing journey of an eel from birth to adulthood. Starting life in the deep, warm Sargasso Sea, the tiny eel drifts across the ocean before swimming up rivers and streams to grow in fresh water. Years later, an inner call sends it swimming all the way back to the sea to lay its own eggs. Written in flowing, poetic language and paired with detailed watercolor pictures, this Read and Wonder book mixes real science with storytelling, helping young readers wonder at one of nature's most mysterious creatures.
