The Black Flamingo...Perfect for fans of Elizabeth Acevedo & Jason Reynolds!

The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta is a powerful debut novel that explores the layers of identity that make us who we are—and allow us to shine.

Michael is a mixed-race gay teen growing up in London. All his life, he’s navigated what it means to be Greek-Cypriot and Jamaican—but never quite feeling Greek or Black enough.

As he gets older, Michael’s coming out is only the start of learning who he is and where he fits in. When he discovers the Drag Society, he finally finds where he belongs—and the Black Flamingo is born.

Accompany Michael on a powerful journey of personal discovery and self love. Told with raw honesty and lyricism, this debut novel by Dean Atta will make you happy, infuriated, sad, and every emotion in between.
