The sensational young adult novel<\/b> Felix Ever Afte<\/i><\/b>r by Kacen Callender will receive its own television series through Amazon Studios and Field Trip Productions.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Published in May of this year by HarperCollins,<\/b> Felix Ever After<\/i><\/b> tells the story of Felix Love, a transgender teen dealing with identity, self-discovery, and the complexities of falling in love. Below, read the book\u2019s official synopsis:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201c<\/b>Felix Love has never been in love\u2014and, yes, he\u2019s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it\u2019s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What\u2019s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he\u2019s one marginalization too many\u2014Black, queer, and transgender\u2014to ever get his own happily-ever-after.<\/b><\/p>\n
When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages\u2014after publicly posting Felix\u2019s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned\u2014Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What he didn\u2019t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi\u2013love triangle….<\/b><\/p>\n
But as he navigates his complicated feelings, Felix begins a journey of questioning and self-discovery that helps redefine his most important relationship: how he feels about himself.<\/b><\/p>\n
Felix Ever After<\/em> is an honest and layered story about identity, falling in love, and recognizing the love you deserve.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n Although we\u2019ve certainly progressed as a society, transgender main characters still aren\u2019t particularly common in books and film\/tv. Thus, this new series is a substantial step forward. In an interview with <\/b>Philly Mag<\/b><\/a>, Callender discussed how this is shifting. \u201cThe year 2020 is going to be huge for trans books,\u201d they said. \u201cThere\u2019s mine and, like, five others that are also coming out. There\u2019s been a lot more awareness for transgender people in the media, so a lot more people are realizing they\u2019re trans. And now more people are telling their stories.\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Callender, whose pronouns are they\/them and sometimes he\/him, is the author of the recent 2020 novel <\/b>King and the Dragonflies<\/i><\/b>, Hurricane Child, <\/b>This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story<\/i><\/b>, and <\/b>Queen of the Conquered.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Find a copy of Felix Ever After on <\/b>Amazon<\/b><\/a>, and stay up to date with the author through their <\/b>Instagram<\/b><\/a> and <\/b>Twitter<\/b><\/a> handles.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Deadline first reported the news.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The sensational young adult novel Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender will receive its own television series through Amazon Studios and Field Trip Productions.\u00a0 Published in May of this year by HarperCollins, Felix Ever After tells the story of Felix Love, a transgender teen dealing with identity, self-discovery, and the complexities of falling in love.
