Shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Young Adult Literature (2020).

The Black Flamingo won the Stonewall Book Award and was shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal and the Jhalak Book Prize. This is not about being ready, it's not even about being fierce, or fearless, IT'S ABOUT BEING FREE. Michael waits in the stage wings, wearing a pink wig, pink fluffy coat and black heels. One more step will see him illuminated by spotlight. He has been on a journey of bravery to get here, and he is almost ready to show himself to the world in bold colours. Can he emerge as The Black Flamingo?
