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 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.
