History[]

Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children (book)[]

Dylan is introduced in Chapter 3 when Jacob enters the fishmonger's to find someone to take him up to the old house, to which he is directed to him as the fishmonger's son who had been arranging fish in a freezer case, suggesting he helped out at the shop. He helps provide Jacob with a pair of Wellingtons (a pair of knee-length waterproof rubber of plastic boots) and agrees to take Jacob. Along the way he introduces Jacob to his friend Worm, who claims Dylan is "Cairnholm's number one beat-boxer" and they demonstrate their rapping and beatboxing "skills". Later on in the chapter, he and Worm get Jacob to walk into a stable and he gets shin-deep in animal poop. The boys tell him they thought he was "taking a piss" which is slang for "joking". After Jacob explains he isn't, the boys point him to the correct path and leave out of fear of the abandoned home.

When Jake wants to go to boarding school, Franklin pays Worm and Dylan to go with him. Along the way, the two teens break in and do a rap demo to Jake who looks surprised but says it's cool. The two then stay at the top of the path as they prank Jake who gets his foot stuck in mud and loses his shoe, to Dylan and Worm laughing at him.

The following evening, the two teenagers are questioned by a farmer whose entire livestock has been decimated. Jake then arrives with his father and they say they weren't with him all day.
