Set during eighth grade, *Tegan and Sara: Crush* brings the twins’ school lives and musical ambitions into the same story. Sara is navigating feelings for her dream girl, while Tegan faces a rupture with her former best friend; a battle-of-the-bands contest adds a new manager, opportunities, and pressure. The graphic novel’s autobiographically inspired story connects the challenges of friendship, family, and identity with the work of finding a shared sound. As the second book in a duology, it continues the sisters’ junior-high experiences and closes this chapter of their story.

Book overview

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!
