Sara Owen grew up canoeing beneath the towering bluffs of the Buffalo National River in Arkansas, skip- ping rocks across the quiet pools of the river while taking lunch breaks on the gravel bars. In college, she studied the aquatic macroinvertebrate communities of the Buffalo River, which served as the inspiration for Seth and Mattie's Big River Adventure. Sara can't believe she's lucky enough to be a field ecologist (her dream job!), where she still finds herself flipping over rocks in streams and rivers to see who's living under them. You can follow her field adventures on Instagram @thenomadicecologist. See less
