TEGAN AND SARA: JUNIOR HIGH

Tegan Quin, Sara Quin

Identical twins Tegan and Sara adjust to a new home and school while navigating junior-high crushes, puberty, and conflicts with friends. Although they have long faced life together, they begin forming different friendships and following separate paths as they understand their queerness. Their growing independence raises questions about identity beyond the twin bond. Music-making gives the sisters a way to reconnect in this semi-autobiographical graphic novel.
