Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles – Thomas Lennon
If you don’t know Tom Lennon, he played Lieutenant Jim Dangle on Reno 911, which should tell you what level of humor he’s going for here, except this is also a young reader’s level book, so it’s the fairly clean version of that level of humor. Fourteen year old Ronan Boyle is a intern with
