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 . .
. 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, raising important questions of inclusion,
marginalisation and neurodiversity with sensitivity and insight.
This barnstorming debut was shortlisted for the prestigious
Carnegie Medal, and Brian has gone on to write many stunning,
award-winning novels for teens and younger readers, including the
Costa-winning The Bombs that Brought Us Together.
