Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize for his first novel, Black Flamingo, Dean Atta is back at this year’s Festival with his new coming-of-age tale, I Can’t Even Think Straight. Written in Dean’s whip-smart style, this verse novel centres on Kai, his decision to come out, and his relationship with his best friend who doesn’t feel ready to do the same. Join us today as Eilidh Akilade chats to Dean about navigating the world as a queer teenager.
