Book cover of 'Wade and Felix Forever' by Dalton Lyle, illustrated by artist Jet Purdie. The cover features two teenagers caught up in the whirlwind of a blue tornado against a green background, along with a garden gnome and a cow.

Like Booksmart with a twist of David Sedaris and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Wade and Felix Forever is a biting, Texas-sized satire of first love and first grift.

Seventeen-year-old Wade Mader dreams of running away to California with his best friend and secret crush, Felix. Stuck in a stuffy Texas suburb with his horrible aunt after the death of his parents, he and Felix prank their neighbors for content in hopes of becoming internet famous. When his school holds auditions for a controversial Peter Pan musical called Pansgender!, Wade sees a path to his L.A. dreams—until the musical gets banned. Seeking to fund another venue for the production, Wade scams conspiracy theorists over the existence of a gay Sasquatch, igniting social chaos that his aunt and her boyfriend exploit for their podcast.

Meanwhile, Wade finds a rival for Felix’s affection in Roland, a homophobic classmate they targeted in a cruel prank. To save his future with Felix and end the paranormal frenzy, Wade must learn to put his antics aside and confront the thing that scares him the most: himself.
