Inspired by the lives of the Grammy-nominated twin-sister duo, this concluding book in their bestselling middle-grade graphic novel duology is all about crushes, crushing it, and being crushed by life in junior high.

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, bighearted conclusion to the autobiographically inspired duology 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.


Tegan Quin and Sara Quin have sold well over one million records and released ten studio albums during the course of their twenty-year career. They have shared the stage with artists like Taylor Swift, Paramore, and Katy Perry over the course of their career. They sang "Everything Is AWESOME!!!" in The Lego Movie and are executive producers of the TV series High School based on their bestselling adult memoir. In 2016, they created the Tegan and Sara Foundation, which fights for health, economic justice, and representation for LGBTQ+ people. The twin sisters currently reside in Vancouver, British Columbia. teganandsara.com
