No Fixed Address

by Susin Nielsen

Set in Vancouver, the homeless capital of Canada due to its mild weather, No Fixed Address is the heartfelt story of twelve-year-old Felix and his single mother who are forced to live on the streets after getting evicted from their latest shabby apartment. Despite the power of family, friendship and community, their circumstances continue to go from bad to worse, and Felix struggles between surviving and remaining loyal to his beloved but unstable mother… By weaving witty humor into the heavy and very real heartbreak of child abandonment, addiction, violence, and homophobia, No Fixed Address is poignant and powerful without feeling pretentious, and will inspire compassion and reflection for generations to come.
