The Hundred-Mile-an-Hour Dog

Streaker is a mixed-up kind of dog . . .with quite a bit of Ferrari and a large chunk of whirlwind . . .

Streaker is no ordinary dog. She’s a rocket on four legs with a woof attached, and Trevor has got until the end of the holidays to train her. If he fails, he’ll lose his bet with horrible Charlie Smugg, and something very, very yucky involving frogspawn will happen . . .

Strong's books are hugely popular with young children with their breezy, daft exuberance

About Jeremy Strong

Jeremy Strong once worked in a bakery, putting the jam into three thousand doughnuts every night. Now he puts the jam into stories instead, which he finds much more exciting. He loves writing stories because it's 'the only time you alone have complete control and can make anything happen'. His ambition is to make you laugh (or at least snuffle). Jeremy Strong lives near Bath with his wife, Gillie, four cats and a flying cow.
