Kelly McCaughrain's debut Flying Tips for Flightless Birds won an unprecedented hat-trick of awards at the 2019 Children's Books Ireland Awards, as well as the Northern Ireland Book Award. Her YA novel Little Bang is shortlisted for the 2025 Carnegie Award for Writing and the Children's Books Ireland Awards. Just Another Dead Boy is her first YA speculative romance. Kelly was Children's Writing Fellow for Northern Ireland 2019-2021. She lives in Belfast.

With an unsettling premise in which the poor provide services to the wealthy so they can live out their final days, Another Dead Boy is a unique dystopian novel filled with existential dread and the importance of human connection. It encapsulates the inevitability of death and, thus, how people choose to live their lives to the fullest as the mortality clock ticks, while simultaneously serving as an allegory for the capitalisation of end-of-life care.
