Book Description

Dylan Mint has Tourette?s. His 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 mum, Dylan discovers that he?s going to die in March. So he makes a list of things he must do before he dies: first, he wants to have real sex with gorgeous Michelle Malloy; second, he?s got to find his autistic best friend Amir a new best bud; third, he?s got to get his dad back home from the army so they can say goodbye properly. It?s not a long list, but it?s ambitious, and he doesn?t have much time. Sometimes you?ve just got to go for it ? no holding back ? and see what happens . . .

This is the launch of a major new writing talent. Brian Conaghan makes you travel every step of the way in Dylan?s shoes, laughing and crying ? often at the same time ? as Dylan faces the twists and turns of an unfair world with glorious optimism and wit.

Shortlisted for The CILIP Carnegie Medal in 2015.
