Bad Queer

I feel invincible. Like I could run and run and never stop for breath. I feel a power in me I didn''t know I had. The power to speak, to say what I want. Prema is absolutely not a girl. Coming out to their queer parents and their best friend is easy. But how do they do that at school, with new friends or the cute boy in their drama club, the one they can''t stop thinking about? Join Prema in their last year of A Levels as they try to figure all this out, contending with complex family dynamics, fading friendships and first loves. With gorgeous illustrations throughout, Bad Queer is a love letter to queer joy, life, love and resistance. This is a beautiful, song-from-the-heart novel, perfect for fans of Alice Oseman, Dean Atta and Sarah Crossan.
