Series: Ronan Boyle

Fourteen-year-old Ronan Boyle is the youngest and lowliest recruit to the secret Garda, an Irish police force that handles the misdeeds of numerous magical creatures. Ronan's parents are in jail, but Ronan is convinced that they were framed by the wee people. So, despite his small size, poor eyesight, and social awkwardness, he's determined to learn all he can in the Garda in order to prove his parents' innocence. To show he's got what it takes, he'll have to confront a fiery leprechaun, a sinister harpy, and a whole world of monsters hidden in plain sight next to real-life Ireland. Fast paced, action packed, and completely hilarious, this is the start to an exciting new middle-grade series by actor and writer Thomas Lennon.

Reviews for Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles (#1 Ronan Boyle)

The main thing that readers ages 10 to 15 will want to know about Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles is that it's extremely funny. Styled as a personal journal and set in a magical Irish subculture, Thomas Lennon's caper starts out in a state of wild high humor and never really lets up. Featuring exuberant artwork by John Hendrix and humorous footnotes ( Trolls eating children is really just nature's lint catcher-filtering out some of the ones that shouldn't get through ), Ronan Doyle and the Bridge of Riddles leaves a clear opening for a sequel and is, to repeat, extremely funny. -- The Wall Street Journal Is Ronan Boyle the new Harry Potter? We're guessing author Thomas Lennon won't be upset by any comparisons to the J.K. Rowling series -- New York Post
