This novel-in-verse tells the story of Michael, a mixed-race gay teen navigating his identity in London. His journey of self-discovery culminates in finding his place in the drag community, addressing issues of cultural and sexual identity.

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.

Can he emerge as The Black Flamingo?

Suitable for ages 12+ years.
