Years have passed. Literally, six years have passed for this young boy who is finally of sufficient height to ride. And what a ride it will be! The upcoming experience will form a bond between father and son that forever will live in the annals of family lore.

This roller coaster, aptly named "Old Rickety" represents a rite of passage and the boy's entrance way into all that is fun. His loving mother looks on, a little less than enthusiastically, and questions, whether her boy will survive this trip with his father. Of course, with this particular father, any trip has an extra degree or two of danger.

Make no mistake, the boy's father means well and knows exactly how excited his young son is about this challenge. Despite what you might hear from the old lady sitting behind them, Dad wants only the best for his six-year-old son. It's just that sometimes, or more accurately, most times, things don't go as planned. Not for this man. And certainly not for his long-suffering family.

Enjoy the ride. And remember, keep your arms and hands inside the vehicle at all times!

The Roller Coaster is a tall-tale style telling of a father taking his son on a roller coaster for the first time. It reminded me of going to a professional storytelling conference and being pulled into a world of laughter and insight. If you enjoy Pat McManus you will love this. The narration, the unique descriptions, and the humor are excellent. I laughed out loud many times.

This story is so fun. It made me think of my own rotes of passage and my first time on a roller coaster. I enjoyed the sweet jokes and the vivid imagery.
