When Mr Dog Bites

Shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2015 Hilariously touching and outrageously unforgettable: Mark Haddons Christopher Boone meets Holden Caulfield on one *#@! of a journey. . . Dylan Mint has Tourettes. Being sixteen is hard enough, but Dylans 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 hes 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.
