The Story of the Great American Flying Broomstick
Book 1: Genesis

By Dave Cassler
MtSneffels Press, Ridgway, Colorado

Reviewed by Carol McDermott

Another out-of-box experience comes from the imagination of Dave Casler, the inventor, sort of, of the Great American Flying Broomstick. An accident of place and time gives Dave a power he doesn't understand, but proceeds to test. In Book I: Genesis, he explains his broomstick, his wand, and the trouble they cause. Dave's conversational tone (complete with parenthetical asides) draws the reader into his world.

His home base is Ridgway, Colorado, but his duties take him to Utah, and London. Dave's attention to details (he's an engineer) puts the reader on a broom alongside him. Be sure to hook up your carabiners on the safety harness, then soar to Mt. Sneffles! A real plus to Broomstick is the frank way in which Dave discusses his bi-polarism.
