  The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles 5 is the unforgettable conclusion to Steve Spencer’s beloved series of river adventures, where outdoor education meets laugh-out-loud storytelling. 
  Dr. Odell Buckenflush—part myth, part mischief, and entirely unforgettable—returns in a final collection of forty-eight tales that blend canoeing escapades, survival lessons, family misadventures, and tongue-in-cheek philosophy. From battling sudden floods in the Ozarks to surviving paddling mishaps that turn into life lessons, these chronicles remind us that the river is both a teacher and a trickster. 
  With every story followed by a reflective “Tale of the Tale,” readers see how real experiences inspired the adventures, making this book both educational and entertaining (edutainment) for paddlers, outdoor enthusiasts, camp leaders, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh about the unpredictability of nature—and human nature. 
  This volume also features a Glossary of River Terms (both accurate and comically reimagined), plus appendices linking places, themes, and recurring Buckenflush characters across the series.

On Saturday, April 19, 1986, she finds herself on the run, outwitting her grandmother, kissing a boy she really likes, and tricking adults out of their spot in line at a local Jamaican restaurant, all while she constantly thinks about parents she never really knew. Just when she thinks she has everything under control, her world is turned upside. Her account of the day is one part punchy and humorous and another part sad and all too real.
