A brand new adventure for the Hundred-Mile-an-Hour Dog gives us more laugh-out-loud capers for Trevor and his ridiculously speedy dog, Streaker.

The Hundred Mile-An-Hour Dog Series by Jeremy Strong - Goodreads

It's probably a little old for them really but they understood that Trevor had to beat Charlie Smugg and get Streaker trained. Trevor has got until the end of the holidays to train her or he will lose his bet with horrible Charlie Smugg and something very nasty to do with frogspawn will happen. If he fails, he'll lose his bet with horrible Charlie Smugg, and something very, very yucky involving frogspawn will happen.

He thinks his writing has been influenced most of all by Spike Milligan, but also by falling on his head when he was three years old. He loves writing stories because it's 'the only time you alone have complete control and can make anything happen'. When he was about eighteen he started writing very serious stories for adults, but none of them were published. Definitely does have more appeal for the target audience though, so if you know any primary school age kids then tell them to give it a go.
