Review Quotes:

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
