Conaghan, Brian, 1971-2021
Book
Even though he lives in a house made of cardboard, Bruce is a massive legend. Fact. People at school can't see past Lenny's size to the person he is inside. So when lessons gets too tough, Lenny goes to his bench to think. One day as he's chucking a can into the canal, he's stopped by Bruce. Bruce lives in a neat little home tucked down by the banks, and he doesn't approve of kids messing up his front lawn. An unexpected friendship. An epic plan. A road trip that will change their lives. This is the story of Lenny and Bruce.
