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

The book is funny, fascinating and perfectly realised. It may also be one of the biggest books of 2014; comparisons with The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night Time are already coming thick and fast, and the book merits them

Irish Independent

It's an energetic, confident and compassionate read ... He is one to watch

What a rip-roaring ride it is! Sixteen-year-old Dylan Mint has Tourette's Syndrome which leads him to shout unsavoury – and sometimes downright obscene – things in moments of stress. In the back of his mind Mr Dog growls and the more the stress the louder Dylan barks. So if you enjoyed Curious Incident or My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher then keep your eyes peeled for When Mr Dog Bites

I loved, loved, loved this story. Loved it ... I loved Dylan. I loved his mum. I loved his best bud Amir. I loved Michelle Stroppy Malloy. I loved Dylan's incredibly honest and incredibly politically incorrect use of language outside of his Tourette's – it's meaning, not words, that do the hurting ... I won't forget Dylan Mint in a very long time
