The Buffalo River in northwest Arkansas is one of the longest freeflowing, undammed rivers west of the Mississippiand one of the most beautiful waterways on earth. Almost lost to development, it proved to be the perfect testing ground for a young boy almost lost to mediocrity.Middleschooler Ben is struggling with learning challenges that have left him resentful and underachieving. His father, middleager Todd, wants to help his son gain selfconfidence but is searching for his own identity. For twelve adventurefilled days on the riverall 125 miles of her navigable course, from Ponca to the White Riverfather and son discover the formative, curative, and redemptive powers of nature.Leaving video games and cell phones behind isnt easy for kids these days, but in the great outdoors parents and youngsters can connect in unimaginable ways. The Buffalo, Ben, and Me shares such a connection in an adventure story set on a wild river. It is a captivating tale featuring a host of colorful characters and enlivened by photos that reflect the essence of the wilderness.But deeper than that, it is the story of crossing a threshold from dream to possibilityof one mans search for meaning in his life and his efforts to motivate his son, blending love of family with love of nature in a tale of transformation. It tells how a rebellious teen and a bored banker conspired to buck a system keyed to predictability, and how a wild river inspired both to a better use of their lives. This trip hit me as hard as it did Ben, writes Parnell, as a wakeup call to life, to what is important, to what is not.The trip down the Buffalo was one that even Ben admits changed his life in more ways than one, as he later went on to earn a master of science degree specializing in stream ecology. For any reader who loves the outdoorsand especially those seeking to connect with their childrenThe Buffalo, Ben, and Me is essential reading that reminds us of possibilities to be had in facing life headon as it raises awareness of the need to protect the Ozarks water resources and heritage.
