Participle question

I'm in my fourth year and still trying to understand how participles work...

Is it possible to have participles strung together in a sentence? For example, could one say:
"Проходя мимо кафе я замечаю то, что книгу читаемую мальчиком сидящий в углу, одна из моих любимых", which uses both active and passive participles? Would a sentence like that make sense?

I would also add a dash:
Проходя мимо кафе, я замечаю, что книга, читаемая мальчиком, сидящим в углу, - одна из моих любимых.

May be, may be, it's perhaps a possibility, too.
But in this case there should be definitely no comma before the dash! ;)
