When Mr Dog Bites

Hilariously touching and outrageously unforgettable: Mark Haddon’s Christopher Boone meets Holden Caulfield on one *#@! of a journey…

Dylan Mint has Tourette’s. Being sixteen is hard enough, but Dylan’s life is a constant battle to keep the bad stuff in - the swearing, the tics, the howling dog that seems to escape whenever he gets stressed…But a routine visit to the hospital changes everything. Overhearing a hushed conversation between the doctor and his mother, Dylan discovers that he’s going to die next March. So he grants himself three parting wishes or ‘Cool Things To Do Before I Cack It’. But as Dylan sets out to make his wishes come true, he discovers that nothing - and no-one - is quite as he had previously supposed.

‘It’s the F-word - funny, foul-mouthed, fantastic!’ Charlie Higson
‘I loved Dylan Mint. He made me laugh out loud and his tenacity had me rooting for him from the first page’ Stephen Kelman, author of Pigeon English
