From indie-pop twin-sister duo Tegan and Sara and Eisner Award-winner Tillie Walden comes the second book in their bestselling contemporary middle grade graphic novel duology, all about crushes, crushing it, and being crushed by life in junior high—perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier's Sisters and Sweet Valley Twins.
Tegan and Sara may have survived seventh grade, but their junior high jams are just beginning. Offstage, school is officially back in session. Between Sara’s growing feelings for her dream girl and Tegan’s falling out with her former BFF, eighth grade might prove to be even messier than last year. Onstage, the twins are swept up in a battle-of-the-bands contest to open for their favorite musical artist, landing them with a new manager, new opportunities, and new challenges, too. But stepping into the spotlight—and into their true selves—means colliding over fame, family, and finding their sound.
In this spunky, big-hearted conclusion to the autobiographically inspired story launched in Junior High, the sisters realize that to get the gig that could change their lives forever, they’ll have to first figure out who they are and how to get along.
A prequel of sorts to the authors' bestselling adult memoir High School, now a Freevee television series!

During the course of their twenty-year career, Tegan and Sara have sold well over one million records and released eight studio albums. They have received three Juno Awards, a Grammy nomination, a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, and the 2018 New York Civil Liberties Union Award. They have performed on some of the world’s biggest stages, from Coachella to the Academy Awards. Outspoken advocates for equality, in 2016 Tegan and Sara created the Tegan and Sara Foundation, which fights for health, economic justice, and representation for LGBTQ girls and women. The sisters currently reside in Vancouver, British Columbia, and split their time between there and Los Angeles, California.

A Junior Library Guild Selection
“The combined talents of Tegan and Sara Quin with graphic novel artist Walden brings readers a pitch-perfect rendition of the 13-year-old twins entering the professional hustle with their band while maintaining friendships, middle school romances, and their relationships with each other . . . Even those with no previous knowledge of the band will be fully immersed in Tegan and Sara’s backstory, thanks to their own narrative skills and the support of a fine visual artist who is fully onboard.” —School Library Journal
“Earnest, expertly executed storytelling . . . Walden’s expressive and animated art enhances the book’s emotional impact. A heartfelt story of staying grounded while shooting for stardom.” —Kirkus Reviews
