Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles (Ronan Boyle #1) | Thomas Lennon

2 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 3 to read

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.

Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles (Ronan Boyle #1) | Thomas Lennon

so-so

Thomas Lennon‘s fantasy novel for children aged 9+ (the first in a series and illustrated by John Hendrix) relies heavily on Oirish stereotypes and the world building never really gels (particularly the link between the fantasy and real world elements) and feels intended for an older audience. There are some laughs from the dialogue but the pacing is uneven and the cliff hanger ending didn‘t interest me enough to want to read the sequel.

Took The Child to a reading and signing of Thomas Lennon's debut novel...and he was AWESOME. I bought the book for her but now I want to read it. He is hilarious! (He wrote the first two Night at the Museum movies, among other things and in addition to being a comedian.)
