The book was about a taniwha named Taukere who saved a boy named Niko who was drowning. After the incident Niko went back to the river to find Taukere, but he wouldn't come out. Only Nikos koro thought Taukere was real.The whole town heard about what happened to Niko and thought he was crazy. Nikos koro died from a heart failure. Niko and his friend decided they want to find more out about the taniwha. They went searching through his koros room and found a book called 'Taming the Taniwha'. The book tells them that they should put a pounamu (Green stone) around the taniwha neck. Niko and his friend went to the river and did a karakia (prayer) and threw the pounamu into the water. Suddenly a eel was flying out of the water into the mud. Niko gently puts the eel back where it belong. As they turn around they see something sparkling in the mud it was Nikos koros pounamu.
