Felix Ever After
by Kacen Callender
Life for Felix is very complicated. He not only deals with the insecurities that every teenager faces, but has to deal with fear of rejection from peers and family because he is black, trans, and queer. Who will accept him? How can he find love? While Felix’s dad has a hard time with his transition - he doesn’t call him by his name, Felix, preferring to call him “kid”, and sometimes calls him by the name given to him by birth. I can imagine how difficult that must be for a parent. However, his dad is VERY supportive of Felix. Beyond all of that, this story is also about a kid whose past has been exposed at the school, and his quest to find out who it was. Felix learns a lot about himself and his continuing struggle with his identity, his art, friendships, love, and learns to become comfortable with who he is..
