Tegan and Sara: Junior High
Tegan and Sara: Junior High | Sara Quin, Tegan Quin
3 posts | 3 read
From indie-pop twin-sister duo Tegan and Sara comes a contemporary middle grade graphic novel that explores growing up, coming out, and finding yourself through music and sisterhood, perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier's Sisters. Before Tegan and Sara took the music world by storm, the Quins were just two identical twins trying to find their place in a new home and new school. From first crushes to the perils of puberty, surviving junior high is something the sisters plan to face side by side, just like they've always faced things. But growing up also means growing apart, as Tegan and Sara make different friends and take separate paths to understanding their queerness. For the first time ever, they ask who one sister is without the other. Set in the present day, this effervescent blend of fiction and autobiography, with artwork from Eisner Awardwinner Tillie Walden, offers a glimpse at the two sisters before they became icons, exploring their shifting relationship, their own experiences coming out, and the first steps of their musical journey. A prequel of sorts to the authors' bestselling adult memoir High School, now an 8-episode Freevee television series!

And that's a wrap for #WickedWords for June! Thanks @AsYouWish as always for hosting this word-spotting challenge.

Two romance novels, two very different graphic memoirs, and a light-hearted SF.

This “lightly fictionalized” graphic memoir follows a modern-day Tegan and Sara of indie pop fame as middle schoolers at a new school, developing different friend groups, facing mean girls, discovering the guitar, forming a band, getting their periods, acquiring crushes, coming out, and more. At 32, I‘m not the target market and was occasionally bored tbh, but I think Raina Telgemeier fans will love this emotionally real exploration of 7th grade.
